HOST SELECTION BY BLACKLEGGED TICKS (IXODES SCAPULARIS) [PDF]
Here, I have broken the blacklegged tick host selection process into discrete stages — from encountering a host to climbing onto a host — to empirically evaluate how juvenile blacklegged ticks select (or perhaps do not select) their hosts. By breaking down the host selection process into discrete stages where ticks may or may not exhibit differential ...

Climate impacts on blacklegged tick host-seeking behavior. [PDF]
Int J Parasitol, 2019 The nymph of the blacklegged tick (Ixodes scapularis), the primary North American vector of the causative agent of Lyme disease, must attach to a host by the end of its questing season in order to feed and subsequently molt into an adult. The proper timing of this behavior is critical both for the tick's survival and for perpetuating the transmission ...

Modeling Climate Suitability of the Western Blacklegged Tick in California. [PDF]
J Med Entomol, 2018 Ixodes pacificus Cooley & Kohls (Acari: Ixodidae), the primary vector of Lyme disease spirochetes to humans in the far-western United States, is broadly distributed across Pacific Coast states, but its distribution is not uniform within this large, ecologically diverse region.

Human granulocytic anaplasmosis acquired from a blacklegged tick in Ontario. [PDF]
CMAJ, 2018 KEY POINTS A 79-year-old man was admitted to hospital in July after five days of fever (38°C as measured at home), headache, sensitivity to light, nausea and vomiting. Two weeks earlier, the patient had noticed a tick attached to his skin after hiking in the forest near his home.

EDIS, 2021 Ehrlichia and Anaplasma are bacteria that cause diseases, known as ehrlichiosis and anaplasmosis, in humans and other animals. Ehrlichia and Anaplasma are primarily transmitted through the bites of infected hard ticks, such as the lone star tick, the ...

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.

Accelerated phenology of blacklegged ticks under climate warming [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2015 The phenology of tick emergence has important implications for the transmission of tick-borne pathogens. A long lag between the emergence of tick nymphs in spring and larvae in summer should increase transmission of persistent pathogens by allowing infected nymphs to inoculate the population of naive hosts that can subsequently transmit the pathogen to
