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 ...

The Estimation of Phenotypic and Genetic Parameters for Growth Rate Traits of Abergelle Goat Under the Community‐Based Breeding Programme in the North‐Eastern Parts of Ethiopia

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
Genetic and phenotypic parameters for growth traits of Abergelle goats were estimated using 6 years of data from community‐based breeding programme in scale‐up villages. Growth traits showed positive genetic and phenotypic correlations, with moderate to high heritability, indicating strong potential for genetic improvement through selection.

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 ...
