Although wild and domestic animals are the primary source of tick blood meals, humans can be an accidental host. During a blood meal, a microorganism can be transmitted to the host who can develop a disease. All infectious diseases transmitted by ticks are referred to as tick-borne diseases (TBDs). They are the most prevalent vector-borne diseases in the Northern Hemisphere. Among these diseases, Lyme borreliosis is the most common.\n\nIn Europe, Lyme borreliosis does not cause high fevers (\\> 38°C). Therefore, when a patient presents with a high fever with the notion of exposure to ticks, another etiology must be suspected. Anaplasma phagocytophilum and the tick-borne encephalitis virus are classically described as causing febrile syndromes.\n\nIn France, ticks and tick-borne diseases are increasing, particularly those associated with the Ixodes ricinus tick. This tick is mainly present in forest ecosystems with a peak of activity in May. Foresters represent a population with biting ticks and tick-borne diseases, notably Lyme borreliosis.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'NON_PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'Major forester (≥18 years old), ONF (National Forestry Office) staff regularly exposed to ticks in Alsace.', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Major forester (≥18 years old)\n* Male or female gender\n* ONF (National Forestry Office) staff\n* Regularly exposed to ticks in Alsace (exclusively)\n* Practicing regular forestry activities in a group\n* Agreeing to participate in the study.\n\nExclusion criteria:\n\n* Refusal to participate in the study'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT06492668', 'acronym': 'PREFORTIC', 'briefTitle': 'Risk of Exposure and Prevention of Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases Among Foresters in Alsace', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'University Hospital, Strasbourg, France'}, 'officialTitle': 'Risk of Exposure and Prevention of Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases Among Foresters in Alsace (France)', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '9309'}}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '67091', 'city': 'Strasbourg', 'state': 'Les Hôpitaux Universitaires de Strasbourg', 'status': 'RECRUITING', 'country': 'France', 'contacts': [{'name': 'Nathalie BOULANGER, PUPH', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'nathalie.boulanger@chru-strasbourg.fr', 'phone': '33 3 69 55 14 49'}, {'name': 'Nathalie BOULANGER, PUPH', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR'}, {'name': 'Benoît JAULHAC, PUPH', 'role': 'SUB_INVESTIGATOR'}], 'facility': 'Centre National de Référence Borrelia - CHU de Strasbourg - France', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 48.58392, 'lon': 7.74553}}], 'centralContacts': [{'name': 'Nathalie BOULANGER, PUPH', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'nathalie.boulanger@chru-strasbourg.fr', 'phone': '03 69 55 14 49'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'University Hospital, Strasbourg, France', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'SPONSOR'}}}}
