Transient influence of blood meal and natural environment on blacklegged tick bacterial communities

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2018
Blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis) spend the majority of their life cycle off host, typically in woodland habitat, but require a blood meal at each of three life stages (larva, nymph, adult) to reach maturity and reproduce. Blood feeding usually lasts for several days each time and as blood is imbibed, a range of known pathogens from the host may ...
