Modelling spatial concordance between Rocky Mountain spotted fever disease incidence and habitat probability of its vector Dermacentor variabilis (American dog tick)

Geospatial Health, 2012
The spatial distribution of Dermacentor variabilis, the most commonly identified vector of the bacterium Rickettsia rickettsii which causes Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) in humans, and the spatial distribution of RMSF, have not been previously ...

Historical associations and spatiotemporal changes of pathogen presence in ticks in Canada: A systematic review

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 71, Issue 1, Page 18-33, February 2024.
Abstract Background Starting in the early 20th century, ticks and their pathogens have been detected during surveillance efforts in Canada. Since then, the geographic spread of tick vectors and tick‐borne pathogens has steadily increased in Canada with the establishment of tick and host populations.

Hybridization in natural sympatric populations of Dermacentor ticks in northwestern North America

Ecology and Evolution, 2013
Hybridization in ticks has been described in a handful of species and mostly as a result of laboratory experiments. We used 148 AFLP loci to describe putative hybridization events between D. andersoni and D.

Characterisation of putative novel tick viruses and zoonotic risk prediction

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2024.
Tick‐borne viruses remain a substantial zoonotic risk worldwide, so knowledge of the diversity of tick viruses has potential health consequences. Through data mining and bioinformatic analyses of more than 37,800 public meta‐genomic and ‐transcriptomic data sets, we found five putative novel Alphatetra‐like viruses, four putative novel Orthomyxo‐like ...

Passive Animal Surveillance to Identify Ticks in Wisconsin, 2011–2017

Insects, 2019
The introduction of new tick species poses a risk to human and animal health. Systematic active surveillance programs are expensive and uncommon.

Predicting the global potential distribution of two major vectors of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever under conditions of global climate change.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases
Rocky Mountain spotted fever is a tick-borne disease that is highly dangerous but often overlooked by the public. To prevent the spread of the disease, it is important to understand the distribution patterns of its vectors' suitable areas.

Spatial distribution and clustering of medically important tick species in Illinois: Implications for tick-borne disease riskGitHub

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
The geographic range of medically significant tick species has expanded across the United States, with Illinois experiencing increased tick populations and incidence of tick-borne diseases (TBDs) in recent decades.

Laboratory evaluations of the immediate and sustained efficacy of lotilaner (Credelio™) against four common species of ticks affecting dogs in North America

Parasites & Vectors, 2017
Background Effective control of tick infestations on dogs is important to reduce the risk of transmission of bacterial, viral, and protozoal pathogens.

The Life-history of Dermacentor variabilis

Parasitology, 1913
During the past three years I have made various attempts to raise Dermacentor variabilis through its various stages on tame rabbits and have at last been successful. Though there are still many points connected with the life-history to clear up, it is at any rate the first step towards finding ways and means for its control.

Prevalence of Rickettsia species in Dermacentor variabilis ticks from Ontario, Canada

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2016
Relatively little is known about the prevalence of rickettsial species in Dermacentor ticks in eastern Canada. In this study, Dermacentor ticks from the province of Ontario, Canada, were tested for the presence of spotted fever group rickettsial (SFGR) species, Coxiella burnetii and Francisella tularensis.
