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

A Dispersal Model for the Range Expansion of Blacklegged Tick (Acari: Ixodidae) [PDF]
Journal of Medical Entomology, 2004 The blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis Say, a vector for the agents of Lyme borreliosis and other diseases, has expanded its range dramatically over the past 20 yr. However, the relative contributions of different vertebrate host species to this expansion have remained largely unexplored.

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 ...

Bunyaviruses are common in male and female Ixodes scapularis ticks in central Pennsylvania [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 The blacklegged tick Ixodes scapularis is widely distributed in the United States and transmits multiple pathogens to humans, wildlife and domestic animals. Recently, several novel viruses in the family Bunyaviridae (South Bay virus (SBV) and Blacklegged
