: An ethics statement is not applicable as this study was not classified as a human or animal experiment. Reports of ticks and tick samples were sent in voluntarily by people living in Sweden. The web application only collects information on the location and host of each participant. No personal data or IP addresses are saved. SVA processed the data in accordance with the Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679. The senders were informed that SVA reserves the right to use the submitted ticks and the accompanying metadata (i.e., images and information on the location of the finding and host) for research purposes as part of SVA’s activities. The research is published without reference to individual submitted responses unless required by Swedish law.
