Incorporating phylogenetic metrics of biodiversity to refine Lyme disease risk models
Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2025.Abstract Biodiversity has been linked to reduced disease transmission through the dilution effect process. Traditional ecological measures of biological diversity, such as species richness, are most commonly used to test for the dilution effect. However, such metrics of species diversity do not consider the evolutionary relationship between species ...

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.

Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2025.ABSTRACT Background and Aim Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is a common hearing disorder prevalent. Borrelia burgdorferi (B. burgdorferi) is a spirochete whose infection has been shown to result in SNHL. This systematic review aims to investigate the prevalence and association of B. burgdorferi infection in SNHL.

Modeling the effects of variable feeding patterns of larval ticks on the transmission of Borrelia lusitaniae and Borrelia afzelii [PDF]
, 2017 Spirochetes belonging to the Borrelia burgdoferi sensu lato (sl) group cause Lyme Borreliosis (LB), which is the most commonly reported vector-borne zoonosis in Europe. B. burgdorferi sl is maintained in nature in a complex cycle involving Ixodes ricinus

Homogeneity of Powassan virus populations in naturally infected Ixodes scapularis
Virology, 2010 Powassan virus (POWV, Flaviviridae: Flavivirus) is the sole North American member of the tick-borne encephalitis complex and consists of two distinct lineages that are maintained in ecologically discrete enzootic transmission cycles. The underlying genetic mechanisms that lead to niche partitioning in arboviruses are poorly understood. Therefore, intra-
