Emerging tick-borne infections in mainland China: an increasing public health threat [PDF]
, 2015 Since the beginning of the 1980s, 33 emerging tick-borne agents have been identified in mainland China, including eight species of spotted fever group rickettsiae, seven species in the family Anaplasmataceae, six genospecies in the complex Borrelia ...

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 2, Page 164-168, March 2026.ABSTRACT Lyme disease (LD), a tick‐borne infection, is endemic in Nova Scotia. One decade ago, the seropositivity rate to Borrelia burgdorferi was 2/1855 (0.14%). In the current study, using residual sera representing ages 10–64 years, we demonstrate an increase in seroprevalence, to 25/1872 (1.60%), with the highest seroprevalence in the western area ...

Diversity of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in ticks and small mammals from different habitats
Parasites & Vectors, 2022 Background Ixodid ticks are important vectors for zoonotic pathogens, with Ixodes ricinus being the most important in Europe. Rodents are hosts of immature life stages of I.

Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Blood Parasite Infections and Impacts on Avian Health and Reproduction
Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 24, December 2025.ABSTRACT Parasitic infections are ubiquitous in nature, but their consequences are often difficult to evaluate in wildlife. This is particularly the case for chronic infections for which fitness impacts can be subtle or confounded with other intrinsic and extrinsic factors.

Rapid Northward Expansion of the Blacklegged Tick, Ixodes scapularis, in Response to Climate Change
Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 11, November 2025.The blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis, can transmit human diseases such as Lyme disease and is exposing new human populations to this risk due to its rapid expansion into Canada. We used community science data (eTick and iNaturalist) to understand the environmental factors responsible for the distribution of I.

Borrelia burgdorferi Manipulates Innate and Adaptive Immunity to Establish Persistence in Rodent Reservoir Hosts. [PDF]
, 2017 Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato species complex is capable of establishing persistent infections in a wide variety of species, particularly rodents. Infection is asymptomatic or mild in most reservoir host species, indicating successful co-evolution of ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.Blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis), vectors of Lyme disease, have expanded across the Midwestern USA since the 1970s, with at least three genetically structured populations. Fine‐scale genomic and landscape analyses reveal distinct gene flow corridors and barriers, highlighting how environmental connectivity shapes tick range expansion and informing
