Active Forest Management Reduces Blacklegged Tick and Tick-Borne Pathogen Exposure Risk

EcoHealth, 2021
In the northeastern USA, active forest management can include timber harvests designed to meet silvicultural objectives (i.e., harvesting trees that meet certain maturity, height, age, or quality criteria). Timber harvesting is an important tool in enhancing regeneration and maintaining forest health.

FACTORS INFLUENCING THE DISTRIBUTION OF LARVAL BLACKLEGGED TICKS ON RODENT HOSTS

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2003
Because 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 ...

Differential burdens of blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis) on sympatric rodent hosts

Journal of Vector Ecology, 2023
In 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

Tick tubes reduce blacklegged tick burdens on white‐footed mice in Pennsylvania, USA

Journal of Applied Entomology, 2020
AbstractLyme 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.
