Effects of temperature on bacterial microbiome composition in Ixodes scapularis ticks
MicrobiologyOpen, 2018 Ixodes scapularis, the blacklegged deer tick, is the principal vector of Lyme disease in North America. Environmental factors are known to influence regional and seasonal incidence of Lyme disease and possibly the endemicity of the disease to the ...

Ecology, Volume 106, Issue 1, January 2025.Abstract Many vector‐borne diseases are sensitive to changes in land use and climate; hence, it is important to understand the factors that govern the vector populations. Ixodid ticks, which serve as vectors for multiple diseases, have a slow life cycle compared with many of their hosts.

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 1, January 2025.ABSTRACT Spiders are a hyperdiverse taxon and among the most abundant predators in nearly all terrestrial habitats. Their success is often attributed to key developments in their evolution such as silk and venom production and major apomorphies such as a whole‐genome duplication.

Evaluation of acaricide treatments to experimentally reduce winter tick load on moose
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 48, Issue 4, December 2024.We experimentally reduced winter tick load on moose calves by testing the effectiveness of two acaricide treatments: topical permethrin (5% alone) and a combination of topical permethrin (44%) and orally administered fluralaner (25 mg/kg). We resighted moose calves through recaptures, necropsies or spring flyovers.

Single-tube real-time PCR assay for differentiation of Ixodes affinis and Ixodes scapularis
Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2014 Ixodes affinis Neumann (1899) and Ixodes scapularis Say (1821) are tick vectors of the etiologic agent of Lyme disease, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto. Ixodes affinis and I. scapularis are morphologically very similar, and as they are sympatric in the mid- and south-Atlantic U.S.
