Blacklegged tick population synchrony between oak forest and non‐oak forest

Ecological Entomology, 2021
1. Fluctuations in abundance of blacklegged ticks in space and time are well‐documented, but the extent to which populations fluctuate synchronously across habitat types is poorly understood. In oak forests, blacklegged tick density depends on small mammal abundance, which is in turn driven by fluctuations in acorn production.

Spring Migratory Birds (Aves) Extend the Northern Occurrence of Blacklegged Tick (Acari: Ixodidae)

Journal of Medical Entomology, 1996
Birds that had migrated northward across Lake Superior were captured upon reaching landfall at Thunder Cape (48 degrees 18' N, 88 degrees 56' W) at the southwestern tip of the Sibley Peninsula, northwestern Ontario, from 9 May to 9 June 1995. Twenty-one of 530 birds examined (6 of 55 species) had a total of 34 ticks; 1 blue jay, Cyanocitta cristata ...

Simulation of Blacklegged Tick (Acari: Ixodidae) Population Dynamics and Transmission of Borrelia burgdorferi

Journal of Medical Entomology, 1997
A model (LYMESIM) was developed for computer simulation of blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis Say, population dynamics and transmission of the Lyme disease agent. Borrelia burgdorferi Johnson. Schmid, Hyde, Steigerwalt & Brenner, LYMESIM simulates the effects of ambient temperature, saturation deficit, precipitation, habitat type, and host type and ...

Notes on Responses of Blacklegged Ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) to Host Urine

Journal of Medical Entomology, 1999
In laboratory bioassays under conditions of high humidity, host-seeking female black-legged ticks, Ixodes scapularis Say, avoided urine of reproductively active male and nonestrous female white-tailed deer, Odocoileus virginianus (Zimmermann), the principal host species of the adult stage. At 50% RH, female I.

Estimating Population Size and Drag Sampling Efficiency for the Blacklegged Tick (Acari: Ixodidae)

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2000
Estimates of absolute density were determined over a 5-yr period (1990-1994) for a population of Ixodes scapularis Say located in Westchester County, NY, by mark-release-recapture (nymphs and adults) and removal (larvae) methods. Density estimates for larvae ranged from 5.2 to 16.5/m2 and averaged 11.5/m2.

The question of fluctuating asymmetry in the blacklegged tick Ixodes scapularis (Acari: Ixodidae)

Experimental & Applied Acarology, 1998
An analysis of fluctuating asymmetry was conducted on populations of the blacklegged tick Ixodes scapularis. The eight groups used in this study consisted of larvae and nymphs and males and females from the states of Minnesota, Massachusetts, Maryland, Missouri, North Carolina and Georgia and the F1 progenies of reciprocal crosses between ticks from ...

HOST SELECTION BY BLACKLEGGED TICKS (IXODES SCAPULARIS)

Here, I have broken the blacklegged tick host selection process into discrete stages — from encountering a host to climbing onto a host — to empirically evaluate how juvenile blacklegged ticks select (or perhaps do not select) their hosts. By breaking down the host selection process into discrete stages where ticks may or may not exhibit differential ...

Responses of juvenile blacklegged ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) to hosts of varying quality

Journal of Medical Entomology
Abstract Blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis) are the most medically and economically important vectors in North America. Each of their 3 life stages requires a blood meal from one of many potential host species, during which they can acquire or transmit pathogens.
