Acceptability of 4-poster deer treatment devices for community-wide tick control among residents of high Lyme disease incidence counties in Connecticut and New York, USA

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases, 2023
The 4-Poster Tick Control Deer Feeder (4-poster) device applies acaricide to white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) and can reduce populations of the blacklegged tick (Ixodes scapularis), which transmits the agents of Lyme disease, anaplasmosis ...

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.

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 ...

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

Journal of Medical Entomology, 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. We assessed seasonal variability in the abundance of nymphal stage I. scapularis over 13 yr, collected from several forested areas throughout Rhode Island.

Multiscale analysis of climate, habitat, and host relationships to predict blacklegged tick presence and abundance in Ohio, USA

Landscape Ecology
Ixodes scapularis (the blacklegged tick) is a prominent disease vector that has rapidly expanded across eastern North America in recent decades due to land use and climate change.

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 ...

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.

Acaricidal Biominerals and Mode-of-Action Studies against Adult Blacklegged Ticks, Ixodes scapularis

Microorganisms, 2023
Ticks in the USA are the most important arthropod vector of microbes that cause human and animal disease. The blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis, the focus of this study, is able to transmit the bacteria that causes Lyme disease in humans in the USA.
