In vitro and in vivo acaricidal properties of orally delivered ivermectin against the blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis

Parasites & Vectors
Background The lack of effective and affordable new environmental tick control products is one of the major challenges to the existing control strategies against the blacklegged tick (Ixodes scapularis), the vector of Lyme disease affecting public health

Scale‐dependent effects of nonnative plant invasion on host‐seeking tick abundance

Ecosphere, 2016
Nonnative, invasive shrubs can affect human disease risk through direct and indirect effects on vector populations. Multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora) is a common invader within eastern deciduous forests where tick‐borne disease (e.g., Lyme disease) rates

Blacklegged ticks, Ixodes scapularis, reduce predation risk by eavesdropping on communication signals of Formica oreas thatching ants

Royal Society Open Science
Ticks spend most of their life inhabiting leaf litter and detritus where they are protected from sun but preyed upon by ants. Ants secrete chemical communication signals to coordinate group tasks such as nest defence.

Infection-Mediated Shifts in the Microbial Communities of Deer-Fed Ixodes scapularis Ticks

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.

Effects of residential acaricide treatments on patterns of pathogen coinfection in blacklegged ticks

Parasitology
Medically important ixodid ticks often carry multiple pathogens, with individual ticks frequently coinfected and capable of transmitting multiple infections to hosts, including humans.

Sexual dimorphism of the Lyme disease bacterium in its tick vector – Abundance of Borrelia burgdorferi is higher in female than male Ixodes scapularis larvae

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
Background: In North America, the tick-borne spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto (ss) causes Lyme disease and is transmitted by the blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis. Acquisition and transmission of B.

Lemongrass essential oil and DEET inhibit attractant detection in infected and non-infected Ixodes scapularis ticks

Current Research in Insect Science
Blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis Say (Arachnida: Ixodidae), is a growing health concern for humans as vectors the causative agent of Lyme disease, Borrelia burgdorferi, and many other pathogens. Given the potential health threat I. scapularis entails,
