Autocrine/paracrine dopamine in the salivary glands of the blacklegged tick Ixodes scapularis [PDF]

Journal of Insect Physiology, 2014
Dopamine (DA) is known to be the most potent activator of tick salivary secretion, which is an essential component of successful tick feeding. We examined the quantitative changes of catecholamines using a method coupling high-pressure liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection (HPLC-ECD).

Ixodes scapularis density in US temperate forests shaped by deer, earthworms, and disparate factors at two scales

Ecosphere, 2022
Forest and wildlife management can help regulate the risk of human exposure to tick‐borne pathogens by influencing the population density of host‐seeking ticks and the pathogen infection prevalence in tick populations.

The Spread of Lone Star Ticks (Amblyomma americanum) and Persistence of Blacklegged Ticks (Ixodes scapularis) on a Coastal Island in Massachusetts, USA

Insects
In the northeastern USA, the distribution of lone star ticks (Amblyomma americanum) has expanded northward in recent decades, overlapping with the range of blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis). Blacklegged ticks carry pathogens for diseases such as Lyme,

Chemosensory and Behavioural Responses of Ixodes scapularis to Natural Products: Role of Chemosensory Organs in Volatile Detection

Insects, 2020
Blacklegged ticks, Ixodes scapularis, represent a significant public health concern due to their vectoring of tick-borne disease. Despite their medical importance, there is still limited knowledge of the chemosensory system of this species, and thus a ...

Repeated Tick Infestations Impair Borrelia burgdorferi Transmission in a Non-Human Primate Model of Tick Feeding

Pathogens, 2023
The blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis, is the predominant vector of Borrelia burgdorferi, the agent of Lyme disease in the USA. Natural hosts of I. scapularis such as Peromyscus leucopus are repeatedly infested by these ticks without acquiring tick ...

Seasonal Variation in Nymphal Blacklegged Tick Abundance in Southern New England Forests [PDF]

, 2007
In the northeastern United States, risk of human exposure to tick transmitted disease is primarily a function of the abundance of the blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis Say.
