Seasonality in Diurnal Locomotory Patterns of Adult Blacklegged Ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) [PDF]

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2005
We continuously recorded the activity of adult and nymphal blacklegged ticks, Ixodes scapularis Say, exposed to diurnal light and temperature cycles in a laboratory test chamber by using a digital camera controlled by an intervalometer. Adult ticks collected and tested in the fall exhibited a bimodal pattern of activity, with peaks shortly after lights

High Prevalence of Borrelia miyamotoi among Adult Blacklegged Ticks from White-Tailed Deer. [PDF]

Emerg Infect Dis, 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).

Estimating Infected Blacklegged Tick Encounters Among Outdoor Workers in Minnesota. [PDF]

Ecohealth
Abstract Outdoor workers are at increased risk of tick-borne diseases, yet we poorly understand the interaction between occupational risk factors and worker behavior. This study integrates active tick surveillance with worker-reported survey data to assess how occupational behaviors, demographic characteristics, and tick-prevention knowledge ...

No Observed Effect of Landscape Fragmentation on Pathogen Infection Prevalence in Blacklegged Ticks (Ixodes scapularis) in the Northeastern United States. [PDF]

PLoS One, 2015
Pathogen prevalence within blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis Say, 1821) tends to vary across sites and geographic regions, but the underlying causes of this variation are not well understood.

Infection-Mediated Shifts in the Microbial Communities of Deer-Fed <i>Ixodes scapularis</i> Ticks. [PDF]

Microorganisms
The holobiont of the blacklegged tick (Ixodes scapularis) includes maternally inherited rickettsial endosymbionts and environmentally acquired microbes that may influence tick fitness and vector competence.
