Assessing the spread of and risk classification approaches for the blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis, in Ontario, Canada [PDF]
, 2021 The rapid range expansion of the blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis, has been occurring in central and eastern Canada. This tick is a concern for human and animal health, given it is a vector for several pathogens, including Borrelia burgdorferi, the ...

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2025.A case of local lymphadenopathy and a flu‐like illness in a man, following a bite by a male lone star tick infected with Ehrlichia sp. and Rickettsia amblyommatis. ABSTRACT The lone star tick (Amblyomma americanum Linnaeus) is a species commonly found in the southeastern U.S., but in recent years its populations have expanded northward, resulting in an

PLOS ONE, 2017 Lyme disease is a major vector-borne bacterial disease in the USA. The disease is caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, and transmitted among hosts and humans, primarily by blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis). The ~25 B. burgdorferi genotypes, based on genotypic variation of their outer surface protein C (ospC), can be phenotypically separated as strains ...

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 ...
