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.
