Environmental Surveillance for Blacklegged Ticks (Ixodes scapularis) Across an Urban-Rural Gradient in West Michigan

, 2023
The blacklegged tick is an emerging species of ticks (Family: Ixodidae) in Michigan and is the primary vector for Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterium that causes Lyme disease.

Strain-Dependent Assessment of Powassan Virus Transmission to Ixodes scapularis Ticks

Viruses
Powassan virus (POWV) is an emerging tick-borne encephalitic virus in Lyme disease-endemic sites in North America. Due to range expansion and local intensification of blacklegged tick vector (Ixodes scapularis) populations in the northeastern and upper ...

Permission to bite: White‐footed mice show no increased grooming response to tick infestation

Journal of Zoology, Volume 326, Issue 2, Page 140-147, June 2025.
White‐footed mice (Peromyscus leucopus) are one of the most frequently studied hosts of blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis); however, interactions between white‐footed mice and ticks are not easily observed. This study aimed to quantify activity patterns in white‐footed mice and to assess their behavioral responses to parasitism by blacklegged ticks ...

Induction of humoral immune response to multiple recombinant Rhipicephalus appendiculatus antigens and their effect on tick feeding success and pathogen transmission [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: Rhipicephalus appendiculatus is the primary vector of Theileria parva, the etiological agent of East Coast fever (ECF), a devastating disease of cattle in sub-Saharan Africa.

Similar microbiome compositions of nymphal blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis) infected and uninfected with Borrelia burgdorferi in Delaware

, 2023
Ellis, VincenzoPathogens can be influenced by their host's microbiome, and this can have consequences for pathogen dynamics. Therefore, characterizing the microbiome of hosts, particularly vectors, may help explain pathogen transmission patterns and ...

Investigation of the Blood Microbiome in Horses With Fever of Unknown Origin

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 2, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Fever of unknown origin (FUO) without a respiratory component is a frequent clinical presentation in horses. Multiple pathogens, both tick‐borne and enteric, can be involved as etiologic agents. An additional potential mechanism is intestinal barrier dysfunction.

The effectiveness of permethrin-treated deer stations for control of the Lyme disease vector Ixodes scapularis on Cape Cod and the islands: a five-year experiment

Parasites & Vectors, 2014
Background The use of animal host-targeted pesticide application to control blacklegged ticks, which transmit the Lyme disease bacterium between wildlife hosts and humans, is receiving increased attention as an approach to Lyme disease risk management ...

Multiflora rose invasion amplifies prevalence of Lyme disease pathogen, but not necessarily Lyme disease risk

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Forests in urban landscapes differ from their rural counterparts in ways that may alter vector-borne disease dynamics. In urban forest fragments, tick-borne pathogen prevalence is not well characterized; mitigating disease risk in densely ...
