Citizen science informs human-tick exposure in the Northeastern United States
International Journal of Health Geographics, 2019 Background Tick-borne disease is the result of spillover of pathogens into the human population. Traditionally, literature has focused on characterization of tick-borne disease pathogens and ticks in their sylvatic cycles.

Modeling the Effects of Reservoir Competence Decay and Demographic Turnover in Lyme Disease Ecology [PDF]
, 2002 Lyme disease risk is related to the abundance of infected nymphal ticks, which in turn depends on the abundance and reservoir competence of wild hosts. Reservoir competence of a host (i.e., probability that an infected host will infect a feeding vector ...

Two Anaplasma phagocytophilum Strains in Ixodes scapularis Ticks, Canada
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014 We developed PCR-based assays to distinguish a human pathogenic strain of Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Ap-ha, from Ap-variant 1, a strain not associated with human infection. The assays were validated on A.

Seasonal Variation in Nymphal Blacklegged Tick Abundance in Southern New England Forests [PDF]
Journal of Medical Entomology, 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. We assessed seasonal variability in the abundance of nymphal stage I. scapularis over 13 yr, collected from several forested areas throughout Rhode Island.

Infecção por riquétsias em carrapatos de aves silvestres em duas ecorregiões da Argentina [PDF]
, 2016 Several tick-borne Rickettsia species are recognized human pathogens in Argentina. Here we evaluated rickettsial infection in ticks collected on passerine birds during 2011-2012 in two eco-regions of Argentina.

Emergence of Ixodes scapularis and Borrelia burgdorferi, the Lyme disease vector and agent, in Ohio [PDF]
, 2014 Lyme disease, the most common vector-borne disease in the United States, is caused by a tick-borne infection with Borrelia burgdorferi. Currently, Ohio is considered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to be non-endemic for Lyme ...

A Dispersal Model for the Range Expansion of Blacklegged Tick (Acari: Ixodidae) [PDF]
Journal of Medical Entomology, 2004 The blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis Say, a vector for the agents of Lyme borreliosis and other diseases, has expanded its range dramatically over the past 20 yr. However, the relative contributions of different vertebrate host species to this expansion have remained largely unexplored.
