Circadian regulation of locomotion, respiration, and arousability in adult blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis)

Scientific Reports
The blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis, is an ectoparasitic arachnid and vector for infectious diseases, including Lyme borreliosis. Here, we investigate the diurnal activity and respiration of wild-caught and lab-reared adult ticks with long-term video

Ecological and Epidemiological Consequences of Tick-Control Interventions in Residential Neighborhoods: A Synthesis of The Tick Project. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
Controlling populations of Ixodes ticks has emerged as a core strategy for reducing human exposure to tick‐borne infections. Several means of reducing the size of the tick population using chemical and biological acaricides show promise in field trials and are frequently used commercially in North America and Europe.

Ehrlichia and Anaplasma

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 ...

Topical permethrin may increase blacklegged tick (Ixodes scapularis) repellency but is associated with cutaneous irritation in horses.

American Journal of Veterinary Research, 2022
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the safety of repeated applications of permethrin concentrations (0% control, 1.5%, 5%, and 10%) to the necks and faces of horses and assess the efficacy and longevity of permethrin as an equine tick repellent.

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.
