Tick-Borne Pathogens in Questing Blacklegged Ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) From Pike County, Pennsylvania
Journal of Medical Entomology, 2022 Abstract Active surveillance was conducted by collecting questing ticks from vegetation through a 2-yr survey in Pike County, Pennsylvania. Over a thousand blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis Say) and American dog ticks (Dermacentor variabilis Say) were collected. A single specimen of the following species was collected: lone star tick (

Tick tubes reduce blacklegged tick burdens on white‐footed mice in Pennsylvania, USA
Journal of Applied Entomology, 2020AbstractLyme disease cases are increasing in the United States. The vector of the pathogen that causes Lyme disease is the blacklegged tick (Ixodes scapularis Say) (Acari:Ixodidae). While there are several tick control options, many are expensive or involve large‐scale or ecological interventions such as landscape acaricide spraying or wildlife baiting.

Differential burdens of blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis) on sympatric rodent hosts
Journal of Vector Ecology, 2023In the United States, there has been a steady increase in diagnosed cases of tick-borne diseases in people, most notably Lyme disease. The pathogen that causes Lyme disease, Borrelia burgdorferi, is transmitted by the blacklegged tick (Ixodes scapularis). Several small mammals are considered key reservoirs of this pathogen and are frequently-used hosts

FACTORS INFLUENCING THE DISTRIBUTION OF LARVAL BLACKLEGGED TICKS ON RODENT HOSTS
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2003Because of differences among hosts in reservoir competence for tick-borne diseases, the distribution of larval blacklegged ticks on hosts might determine tick infection prevalence and disease risk to humans. We conducted a three-part study to determine the factors responsible for greater burdens of larval blacklegged ticks on white-footed mice than on ...

Density-Dependent Seasonal Dynamics of Blacklegged Tick (Acari: Ixodidae) Nymphs
Journal of Medical Entomology, 1997The midsummer seasonal decline in abundance of unfed Ixodes scapularis Say nymphs on experimental plots in New Jersey was density-dependent. Nymph density was manipulated on 9 plots (10 by 10 m each) in Morristown. National Historical Park, NJ, in early June 1994.

The Journal of Parasitology, 1996
A morphological study of the larval stage of the blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis, was conducted to further examine congruence between northern and southern morphotypes. Preliminary ANOVA revealed that 9 characters were not significantly different; thus 28 characters were used in analyses of a total of 8 groups of I.

Nocturnal Questing by Adult Blacklegged Ticks, Ixodes scapularis (Acari: Ixodidae)
The Journal of Parasitology, 1996Quantitative tick drag samples were taken at various times during the day and night from February through April 1994 on St. Catherines Island or on Sapelo Island, Georgia. For each month, there was no statistical difference between the numbers of adult blacklegged ticks, Ixodes scapularis, collected during any hour of daylight or darkness on St ...

The question of fluctuating asymmetry in the blacklegged tick Ixodes scapularis (Acari: Ixodidae)
Experimental & Applied Acarology, 1998An 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 ...

Notes on Responses of Blacklegged Ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) to Host Urine
Journal of Medical Entomology, 1999In 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.
