Water absorption through salivary gland type I acini in the blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis. [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Tick salivary glands play critical roles in maintaining water balance for survival, as they eliminate excess water and ions during blood feeding on hosts.

Blacklegged tick population synchrony between oak forest and non‐oak forest
Ecological Entomology, 2021 1. Fluctuations in abundance of blacklegged ticks in space and time are well‐documented, but the extent to which populations fluctuate synchronously across habitat types is poorly understood.

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

Duration of Exposure to Suboptimal Atmospheric Moisture Affects Nymphal Blacklegged Tick Survival [PDF]
Journal of Medical Entomology, 2007 The biological processes affecting Ixodes scapularis Say survival are complex. Understanding these processes will be beneficial for predicting tick distribution and population dynamics. This research shows that the duration for which nymphal ticks are exposed to drying air is an important factor for their survival.

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 (
