Carryover Effects of Thermal Conditions on Tick Survival, Behavior, and Simulated Detectability. [PDF]
Ecol EvolRecent thermal history affects the abundance and behavior of adult Amblyomma americanum. Thermal responses impacted simulated tick detection through combined effects on movement and mortality. ABSTRACT Carryover effects occur when environmental history of an organism influences its behavior, fitness, and population dynamics.

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2023 Ticks parasitizing 102 wild animals in the states of Mato Grosso and Goiás, Brazil were collected between 2015 and 2018. A total of 2338 ticks (865 males, 541 females, 823 nymphs, and 109 larvae) belonging to four genera (Amblyomma, Dermacentor ...

The bacterial community of the lone star tick (Amblyomma americanum)
Parasites & Vectors, 2021 Background The lone star tick ( Amblyomma americanum ), an important vector of a wide range of human and animal pathogens, is very common throughout the East and Midwest of the USA. Ticks are known to carry non-pathogenic bacteria that may play a role in

A Case of Illness Following a Bite by a Male Lone Star Tick (<i>Amblyomma americanum</i> Linnaeus) Infected With <i>Ehrlichia</i> sp. and <i>Rickettsia amblyommatis</i> in Connecticut, United States. [PDF]
Clin Case RepA case of local lymphadenopathy and a flu‐like illness in a man, following a bite by a male lone star tick infected with Ehrlichia sp. and Rickettsia amblyommatis. ABSTRACT The lone star tick (Amblyomma americanum Linnaeus) is a species commonly found in the southeastern U.S., but in recent years its populations have expanded northward, resulting in an

Lone Star Ticks (Amblyomma americanum):
Delaware journal of public health, 2021 Public health messaging in the eastern United States has historically underemphasized the risks posed by lone star ticks (Amblyomma americanum), focusing instead on blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis).

Automated identification of spotted-fever tick vectors using convolutional neural networks. [PDF]
Med Vet EntomolWe evaluate the performance of convolutional neural networks (CNN) AlexNet, ResNet‐50 and MobileNetV2 for the automated identification of tick species capable of transmitting spotted fever. CNNs achieved accuracy rates of ~90% in identifying ticks and showed sensitivities of 59%–100% according to species, sex, position or image resolution.
