The Effects of Soil pH and Composition on Blacklegged Tick Molting Success
The FASEB Journal, 2013 The blacklegged tick ( Ixodes scapularis) , commonly known for spreading Lyme disease, is one of the most significant vectors of infectious disease in the world. Both the range of the blacklegged tick and annual incidence of Lyme are increasing in North America, stressing the importance of ...

Prolonged Efficacy of IR3535 Repellents Against Mosquitoes and Blacklegged Ticks in North America [PDF]
Journal of Medical Entomology, 2008 Here I report the first findings of consistently high, long-duration efficacy of IR3535 (ethyl butyl acetyl aminopropionate) formulations in the United States. I tested novel, controlled-release formulations of IR3535, at 10% in lotion and at 20% in pump spray and aerosol, against mosquitoes in the field and blacklegged ticks in the laboratory.

Effects of residential acaricide treatments on patterns of pathogen coinfection in blacklegged ticks
ParasitologyAbstractMedically important ixodid ticks often carry multiple pathogens, with individual ticks frequently coinfected and capable of transmitting multiple infections to hosts, including humans. Acquisition of multiple zoonotic pathogens by immature blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis) is facilitated when they feed on small mammals, which are the most ...

Duration of Exposure to Suboptimal Atmospheric Moisture Affects Nymphal Blacklegged Tick Survival
Journal of Medical Entomology, 2007 The biological processes affecting Ixodes scapularis Say survival are complex. Understanding these processes will be beneficial for predicting tick distribution and population dynamics. This research shows that the duration for which nymphal ticks are exposed to drying air is an important factor for their survival.

Evaluating the Distribution of Blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis) in a Region of Recent Expansion
, 2021 Blacklegged ticks are the primary vector for Lyme disease, the most common vector-borne illness in the United States. In the Lower Peninsula of Michigan, established populations of blacklegged ticks were first reported in southwestern counties in 1998.
