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 ...

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 ...

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.
