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.

Insights into the development of Ixodes scapularis: a resource for research on a medically important tick species [PDF]
, 2017 Ticks (Acari: Ixodida) are arthropod ectoparasites dependent on a bloodmeal from a vertebrate host at each developmental stage for completion of their life cycle.

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

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.

A preliminary linkage map of the tick, Ixodes scapularis
Experimental & Applied Acarology, 2002 A linkage map of the Ixodes scapularis genome was constructed based upon segregation amongst 127 loci. These included 84 random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers, 32 Sequence-Tagged RAPD (STAR) markers, 5 cDNAs, and 5 microsatellites in 232 F1 intercross progeny from a single, field-collected P1 female.
