Seasonal Variation in Nymphal Blacklegged Tick Abundance in Southern New England Forests

, 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.

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 ...

Comparison of the initial and residual speed of Ixodes scapularis kill on dogs treated with a single dose of Bravecto® Chew (25 mg/kg fluralaner) or Simparica TRIO® (1.2 mg/kg sarolaner, 24 µg/kg moxidectin, 5 mg/kg pyrantel)

Parasites & Vectors, 2023

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.

Historical Summary of Tick and Animal Surveillance Studies for Lyme Disease in Canada, 1975–2023: A Scoping Review

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 72, Issue 1, Page 9-22, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction Lyme disease (LD) is caused by infection with the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (Bb) through the bite of an infected Ixodes spp. tick. LD has emerged as a public and animal health issue in Canada, with human incidence increasing in part due to the expansion of Ixodes scapularis ticks and their vertebrate hosts.

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 ...

Individual variation underlies large‐scale patterns: Host conditions and behavior affect parasitism

Ecology, Volume 106, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract Identifying the factors that affect host–parasite interactions is essential for understanding the ecology and dynamics of vector‐borne diseases and may be an important component of predicting human disease risk. Characteristics of hosts themselves (e.g., body condition, host behavior, immune defenses) may affect the likelihood of parasitism ...

The Effects of Varying Degrees of Japanese Barberry Invasion on the Abundance of Blacklegged Ticks and White-footed Mice

, 2023
Berberis thunbergii (Japanese barberry) is an invasive shrub that escaped cultivation and spread in the northeastern United States. The impact of varying degrees of Japanese barberry invasion on the abundances of a Lyme disease bacterium vector, Ixodes ...
