Female ticks (Ixodes scapularis) infected with Borrelia burgdorferi have increased overwintering survival, with implications for tick population growth

Insect Science, Volume 30, Issue 6, Page 1798-1809, December 2023., 2023
We demonstrate that adult ticks (Ixodes scapularis) infected with Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterium that causes Lyme Disease, have greater overwintering survival than uninfected ticks. Adult ticks were placed in individual microcosms and allowed to overwinter.

Expert opinion on the identification, risk assessment, and mitigation of microorganisms and parasites relevant to xenotransplantation products from pigs

Xenotransplantation, Volume 30, Issue 5, September/October 2023., 2023
Abstract Xenotransplantation has the potential to address shortages of organs available for clinical transplantation, but concerns exist regarding potential risks posed by porcine microorganisms and parasites (MP) to the health of human recipients. In this study, a risk‐based framework was developed, and expert opinion was elicited to evaluate porcine ...

Limited detection of shared zoonotic pathogens in deer keds and blacklegged ticks co‐parasitizing white‐tailed deer in the eastern United States

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 37, Issue 2, Page 179-188, June 2023., 2023
Lipoptena cervi and Ixodes scapularis sampled from the same white‐tailed deer did not consistently harbour similar bacterial genera (N = 38 deer). Non‐systemic acquisition of pathogens by keds requires further study. Bartonella sp. was detected from deer ked species (Lipoptena sp., Neolipoptena ferrisi) in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Tennessee ...

Diversity and seasonality of host-seeking ticks in a periurban environment in the Central Midwest (USA).

PLoS ONE, 2021
Between March 2014 and February 2017, host-seeking ticks were collected during the late spring and summer months seasonally, and as well as continually through all seasons from several sites in a periurban environment in Pittsburg, Kansas, located in the

Estimating the distribution of Oryzomys palustris, a potential key host in expanding rickettsial tick‐borne disease risk

Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2023., 2023
Abstract Increasingly, geographic approaches to assessing the risk of tick‐borne diseases are being used to inform public health decision‐making and surveillance efforts. The distributions of key tick species of medical importance are often modeled as a function of environmental factors, using niche modeling approaches to capture habitat suitability ...

Mapping and monitoring tick (Acari, Ixodida) distribution, seasonality, and host associations in the United Kingdom between 2017 and 2020

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 37, Issue 1, Page 152-163, March 2023., 2023
The risk of tick‐borne disease is linked to the distribution, seasonal activity and host associations of vector species, all of which can be informed by surveillance and citizen science The Tick Surveillance Scheme (established since 2005) in the United Kingdom monitors distribution changes in Ixodes ricinus and other native or imported vector species ...

Climatic stress decreases tick survival but increases rate of host‐seeking behavior

Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Ticks are vectors of many diseases and are expanding in geographic distribution. However, how ticks will fare in their new environments, where they may experience stressful climatic conditions at the expansion front, remains unclear. Since there is a trade‐off in ticks between behaviors that promote longevity and behaviors that promote ...

Rickettsiales in Ticks Removed from Outdoor Workers, Southwest Georgia and Northwest Florida, USA

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2019
We determined the prevalence of selected Rickettsiales in 362 ticks removed from outdoor workers in southwest Georgia and northwest Florida, USA. Persons submitted an average of 1.1 ticks/month.
