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.

Decoupling of Blacklegged Tick Abundance and Lyme Disease Incidence in Southern Maine, USA

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2019
Lyme disease is caused by the bacterial spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi Johnson, Schmid, Hyde, Steigerwalt, and Brenner (Spirocheatales: Spirochaetaceae) which is transmitted through the bite of an infected blacklegged tick Ixodes scapularis Say (Ixodida:

Estimating Infected Blacklegged Tick Encounters Among Outdoor Workers in Minnesota.

EcoHealth
Abstract Outdoor workers are at increased risk of tick-borne diseases, yet we poorly understand the interaction between occupational risk factors and worker behavior. This study integrates active tick surveillance with worker-reported survey data to assess how occupational behaviors, demographic characteristics, and tick-prevention knowledge ...

Field Evaluations of Three Botanically Inspired Repellents Against the Blacklegged Tick, Ixodes scapularis (Acari: Ixodidae)

Journal of medical entomology, 2022
Three compounds synthetically-derived from botanicals sources, ethyl perillyl carbonate, geranyl isovalerate, and citronellyl cyclobutane carboxylate, were tested for repellent activity against Ixodes scapularis Say in a field trial.

Relative Efficiency of Drag Fabrics for Collection of Blacklegged Tick (Acari: Ixodidae) Larvae, Nymphs, and Adults

Journal of medical entomology, 2021
The blacklegged tick (Ixodes scapularis Say) vectors several bacterial, protozoan, and viral human pathogens. The known distribution, abundance, and phenology of I. scapularis within its estimated range are incomplete.

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
