Population and demographic structure of Ixodes scapularis Say in the eastern United States. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 INTRODUCTION:The most significant vector of tick-borne pathogens in the United States is Ixodes scapularis Say (the blacklegged tick). Previous studies have identified significant genetic, behavioral and morphological differences between northern vs ...

Factors affecting the microbiome of Ixodes scapularis and Amblyomma americanum
PLOS ONE, 2020 The microbial community composition of disease vectors can impact pathogen establishment and transmission as well as on vector behavior and fitness. While data on vector microbiota are accumulating quickly, determinants of the variation in disease vector microbial communities are incompletely understood.

Double anus in an Ixodes scapularis nymph, a medically important tick vector
Parasites & Vectors, 2021 Background Ixodes scapularis ticks are medically important arthropod vectors that transmit several pathogens to humans. The observations of morphological abnormalities, including nanism, missing leg, extra leg, and gynandromorphism, have been reported in

Ixodes scapularis does not harbor a stable midgut microbiome [PDF]
The ISME Journal, 2017 Abstract Hard ticks of the order Ixodidae serve as vectors for numerous human pathogens, including the causative agent of Lyme Disease Borrelia burgdorferi. Tick-associated microbes can influence pathogen colonization, offering the potential to inhibit disease transmission through engineering of the tick microbiota.

Two Anaplasma phagocytophilum Strains in Ixodes scapularis Ticks, Canada
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014 We developed PCR-based assays to distinguish a human pathogenic strain of Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Ap-ha, from Ap-variant 1, a strain not associated with human infection. The assays were validated on A.
