The Blacklegged Tick, Ixodes scapularis: An Increasing Public Health Concern. [PDF]
Trends Parasitol, 2018 In the United States, the blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis, is a vector of seven human pathogens, including those causing Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, babesiosis, Borrelia miyamotoi disease, Powassan virus disease, and ehrlichiosis associated with Ehrlichia muris eauclarensis. In addition to an accelerated rate of discovery of I.

The Establishment of a Blacklegged Tick Population by Migratory Songbirds in Ontario, Canada [PDF]
Journal of Veterinary Science & Medicine, 2012 This 2-year study implicates migratory songbirds in the initiation of an inland Lyme disease endemic area in southeastern Ontario. The spirochetal bacterium, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato Johnson, Schmid, Hyde, Steigerwalt & Brenner, which causes Lyme disease, was detected in blacklegged ticks, Ixodes scapularis Say, collected by flagging.

Tracking seasonal activity of the western blacklegged tick across California [PDF]
Journal of Applied Ecology, 2019 Abstract Understanding seasonal patterns of activity, or phenology, of vector species is fundamental to determining seasonality of disease risk and epidemics of vector‐borne disease. Spatiotemporal variation in abiotic conditions can influence variation in phenological patterns and life history events, which can dramatically influence the ecological ...

A Computer Vision Approach to Identifying Ticks Related to Lyme Disease
IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine, 2022 Background: Lyme disease (caused by Borrelia burgdorferi) is an infectious disease transmitted to humans by a bite from infected blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis) in eastern North America.

Neurophysiological and behavioral responses of blacklegged ticks to host odors
Journal of Insect Physiology, 2021 The blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis (Ixodida, Ixodidae), is one of the major disease vectors in the United States, and due to multiple human impact factors, such as decreasing forest size for land development and climate change, it has expanded its range and established across the United States.

Genetic Melting Pot in Blacklegged Ticks at the Northern Edge of their Expansion Front [PDF]
Journal of Heredity, 2020 AbstractBlacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis) are considered to be the main vector of Lyme disease in eastern North America. They may parasitize a wide range of bird and mammal hosts. Northward dispersal of blacklegged ticks has been attributed largely to movement of hosts to areas outside of the current range of the tick, in conjunction with climate ...

Population-based passive tick surveillance and detection of expanding foci of blacklegged ticks Ixodes scapularis and the Lyme disease agent Borrelia burgdorferi in Ontario, Canada. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 We identified ticks submitted by the public from 2008 through 2012 in Ontario, Canada, and tested blacklegged ticks Ixodes scapularis for Borrelia burgdorferi and Anaplasma phagocytophilum. Among the 18 species of ticks identified, I.
