Distribution of Ticks and Prevalence of Tick‐Borne Pathogens in Multiple Regions of China
Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Ticks and tick‐borne pathogens pose significant threats to livestock and public health. While tick occurrences have been reported in China, systematic assessments of pathogen risk factors across diverse hosts and regions remain limited. This study investigated tick distribution, prevalence, and associated pathogen infections across seven sampling sites

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Controlling populations of Ixodes ticks has emerged as a core strategy for reducing human exposure to tick‐borne infections. Several means of reducing the size of the tick population using chemical and biological acaricides show promise in field trials and are frequently used commercially in North America and Europe.

Efficacy of afoxolaner against Ixodes scapularis ticks in dogs
Veterinary Parasitology, 2014 Efficacy of afoxolaner, a novel isoxazoline insecticide/acaricide, against Ixodes scapularis was evaluated in a laboratory study. One day prior to treatment, beagle dogs (n=16) were infested with 50 unfed wild adult ticks. Repeat infestations were performed weekly for four additional weeks.

Contrasting epigenetics of Ixodes scapularis populations
Abstract Hard ticks are a source of public health concern, in part due to their ability to inhabit different environmental regions, which increases human encounters. In the United States (US), blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis Say), the primary vector of Lyme disease, exhibit various phenotypes depending on their geographic origin (i.e ...

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.

Pathogenicity of Steinernema carpocapsae and S. glaseri (Nematoda: Steinernematidae) to Ixodes scapularis (Acari: Ixodidae) [PDF]
, 2017 The entomopathogenic nematodes Steinernema carpocapsae (Weiser) and S. glaseri (Steiner) are pathogenic to engorged adult, blacklegged ticks, Ixodes scapularis (Say), but not to unfed females, engorged nymphs, or engorged larvae.
