High Prevalence ofBorrelia miyamotoiamong Adult Blacklegged Ticks from White-Tailed Deer
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2016 We compared the prevalence of Borrelia miyamotoi infection in questing and deer-associated adult Ixodes scapularis ticks in Wisconsin, USA. Prevalence among deer-associated ticks (4.5% overall, 7.1% in females) was significantly higher than among questing ticks (1.0% overall, 0.6% in females).

Transient influence of blood meal and natural environment on blacklegged tick bacterial communities
Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2018 Blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis) spend the majority of their life cycle off host, typically in woodland habitat, but require a blood meal at each of three life stages (larva, nymph, adult) to reach maturity and reproduce. Blood feeding usually lasts for several days each time and as blood is imbibed, a range of known pathogens from the host may ...

Prolonged Efficacy of IR3535 Repellents Against Mosquitoes and Blacklegged Ticks in North America [PDF]
Journal of Medical Entomology, 2008 Here I report the first findings of consistently high, long-duration efficacy of IR3535 (ethyl butyl acetyl aminopropionate) formulations in the United States. I tested novel, controlled-release formulations of IR3535, at 10% in lotion and at 20% in pump spray and aerosol, against mosquitoes in the field and blacklegged ticks in the laboratory.
