Ruffed grouse do not exhibit high potential for reservoir competency of common tick‐borne pathogens
Blacklegged ticks are vectors for Borrelia burgdorferi and Anaplasma phagocytophilum transmission, thus we sought to identify ruffed grouse as an alternative host of blacklegged ticks by testing for active and previous infections of tick‐borne pathogens. We failed to detect active, or evidence of previous, B.

Tissue‐damaging marking methods do not affect tick burdens on field captured Peromyscus spp.
Small mammals are important hosts for Ixodes scapularis, particularly white‐footed mice and deer mice from the genus Peromyscus. We evaluate three tissue‐damaging marking methods to determine if any method affects the tick burden on captured mice. There were no significant differences in tick burden on captured mice among the tissue‐damaging marking ...

Fungal granules inoculated on sterilised soil caused upto 76% mealworm mortality. Abstract In Australia, sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas L.) is vulnerable to root feeding insect pests such as wireworms (e.g., Agrypnus spp.). The number of registered insecticides to control these insect pests is limited and often pest pressure, for example by wireworms, is
