Ecography, Volume 2025, Issue 3, March 2025.A necessary component of understanding vector‐borne disease risk is accurate characterization of the distributions of their vectors. Species distribution models have been successfully applied to data‐rich species but may produce inaccurate results for sparsely documented vectors. In light of global change, vectors that are currently not well‐documented

Habitat and Vegetation Variables Are Not Enough When Predicting Tick Populations in the Southeastern United States. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Two tick-borne diseases with expanding case and vector distributions are ehrlichiosis (transmitted by Amblyomma americanum) and rickettiosis (transmitted by A. maculatum and Dermacentor variabilis).

Present and future potential of plant-derived products to control arthropods of veterinary and medical significance [PDF]
, 2014 The use of synthetic pesticides and repellents to target pests of veterinary and medical significance is becoming increasingly problematic. One alternative approach employs the bioactive attributes of plant-derived products (PDPs). These are particularly

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2025.Abstract Large‐bodied wild ungulates are declining worldwide, while domestic livestock continue to increase in abundance. Such changes in large herbivore communities should have strong effects on the control of ticks and tick‐borne disease as they can indirectly modify habitat and directly serve as final hosts for ticks' lifecycles.

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 1, February 2025.A total of 167/394 (42.4%) raccoons were positive for Candidatus Neoehrlichia procyonis. Spatial variation was noted with higher prevalences in the Southeast region of the United States and in California. Ca. N. procyonis is widespread in raccoon populations, but the spatial variation in prevalence may be related to vector distribution or another ...

Individual variation underlies large‐scale patterns: Host conditions and behavior affect parasitism
Ecology, Volume 106, Issue 1, January 2025.Abstract Identifying the factors that affect host–parasite interactions is essential for understanding the ecology and dynamics of vector‐borne diseases and may be an important component of predicting human disease risk. Characteristics of hosts themselves (e.g., body condition, host behavior, immune defenses) may affect the likelihood of parasitism ...

Emergence of Ixodes scapularis and Borrelia burgdorferi, the Lyme disease vector and agent, in Ohio [PDF]
, 2014 Lyme disease, the most common vector-borne disease in the United States, is caused by a tick-borne infection with Borrelia burgdorferi. Currently, Ohio is considered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to be non-endemic for Lyme ...
