Experimental evidence for opposing effects of high deer density on tick-borne pathogen prevalence and hazard [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Background Identifying the mechanisms driving disease risk is challenging for multi-host pathogens, such as Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.), the tick-borne bacteria causing Lyme disease.

Prevalence and Genetic Characterization of Deer Tick Virus (Powassan Virus, Lineage II) in Ixodes scapularis Ticks Collected in Maine. [PDF]

Am J Trop Med Hyg, 2019
Deer tick virus (DTV) is a genetic variant of Powassan virus (POWV) that circulates in North America in an enzootic cycle involving the blacklegged or "deer tick," Ixodes scapularis, and small rodents such as the white-footed mouse.

Potential Tick Defense Associated with Skin and Hair Characteristics in Korean Water Deer (Hydropotes inermis argyropus) [PDF]

Animals
The Korean water deer (WD), a predominant wildlife species in South Korea, is listed as vulnerable by the IUCN Red List. Despite belonging to the same family, Cervidae, WD show significantly fewer adult ixodid tick infestations compared to roe deer (RD).

Species diversity of tick and tick-borne pathogens from roe deer (Capreolus pygargus tianschanicus), including new record of Haemaphysalis megaspinosa (Acari: Ixodidae), in Jeju Island, Republic of Korea [PDF]

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife
Hard ticks (Ixodidae family) are primary vectors of zoonotic diseases, including severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTSV), anaplasmosis, babesiosis, Lyme borreliosis, and ehrlichiosis.

Molecular detection of Ehrlichia chaffeensis in marsh deer (Blastocerus dichotomus) and their parasitic Amblyomma triste ticks in Argentina suggests a local transmission cycle [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors
Background Since the first finding of Ehrlichia chaffeensis in the Argentinian marsh deer populations in 2018, we have conducted ongoing surveillance efforts to better understand the ecological and epidemiological dynamics of this zoonotic tick-borne ...

Phylodynamics of deer tick virus in North America. [PDF]

Virus Evol, 2023
The burden of ticks and the pathogens they carry is increasing worldwide. Powassan virus (POWV; Flaviviridae: Flavivirus), the only known North American tick-borne flavivirus, is of particular concern due to rising cases and the severe morbidity of POWV ...

Salivary gland extract from the deer tick, Ixodes scapularis, facilitates neuroinvasion by Powassan virus in BALB/c mice. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2021
Powassan virus (POWV) is a neuroinvasive flavivirus transmitted to mammals by the bite of ixodid ticks. In this study, we sought to investigate the impact of tick salivary gland extract (SGE) on POWV neuroinvasion.

Development of a small animal model for deer tick virus pathogenesis mimicking human clinical outcome. [PDF]

PLoS Negl Trop Dis, 2020
Powassan virus (POWV) is a tick-borne flavivirus that encompasses two genetic lineages, POWV (Lineage I) and deer tick virus (DTV, Lineage II). In recent years, the incidence of reported POWV disease cases has increased, coupled with an expanded ...

Sex-biased differences in the effects of host individual, host population and environmental traits driving tick parasitism in red deer [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2013
The interactions between host individual, host population, and environmental factors modulate parasite abundance in a given host population. Since adult exophilic ticks are highly aggregated in red deer (Cervus elaphus) and this ungulate exhibits ...

Development of a low-dose fipronil deer feed: evaluation of efficacy against two medically important tick species parasitizing white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) under pen conditions

Parasites & Vectors, 2023
Background Odocoileus virginianus (the white-tailed deer) is a key reproductive host for medically important tick species, including Ixodes scapularis and Amblyomma americanum.
