Seasonal activity patterns of Ixodes scapularis and Ixodes pacificus in the United States

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases
Knowledge of seasonal activity patterns of human-biting life stages of tick species serving as vectors of human disease agents provides basic information on when during the year humans are most at risk for tick bites and tick-borne diseases. Although there is a wealth of published information on seasonal activity patterns of Ixodes scapularis and ...

Characterization of Ixophilin, A Thrombin Inhibitor from the Gut of Ixodes scapularis

PLoS ONE, 2013
Ixodes scapularis, the black-legged tick, vectors several human pathogens including Borrelia burgdorferi, the agent of Lyme disease in North America. Pathogen transmission to the vertebrate host occurs when infected ticks feed on the mammalian host to obtain a blood meal.

The role of Rab27 in tick extracellular vesicle biogenesis and pathogen infection

Parasites & Vectors
Background The blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis, transmits most vector-borne diseases in the US. It vectors seven pathogens of public health relevance, including the emerging human pathogen Anaplasma phagocytophilum.
