Declarations
:
: Approval of the ethics committee was not required since participation in sending ticks was voluntary: after being informed on the study on the TekenNet website (on the goals of the study, the testing of ticks for tick-borne pathogens, the practical steps to take and how results would be communicated) participants could choose to participate or not by filling in the short online questionnaire, which was anonymous (no identification possible) and by sending the tick for research.
: Not applicable.
: The authors declare no competing interests.
