Current stewardship practices in invasion biology limit the value and secondary use of genomic data

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 5, July 2025.
Abstract Invasive species threaten native biota, putting fragile ecosystems at risk and having a large‐scale impact on primary industries. Growing trade networks and the popularity of personal travel make incursions a more frequent risk, one only compounded by global climate change.

Multiple Introductions of the Asian Longhorned Tick (Haemaphysalis longicornis) to the United States Revealed Using Mitogenomics

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.
The Asian longhorned tick, Haemaphysalis longicornis, is a significant global vector and threat to both agriculture and public health. Formerly known only in the Eastern Hemisphere, parthenogenetic ALT have been reported from 20 states across the eastern and central US, with a pattern of expansion suggestive of multiple distinct populations.

A review of filarial nematodes parasitizing tick vectors: unraveling global patterns in species diversity, host associations, and interactions with tick-borne pathogens

Parasites & Vectors
Ticks are well-known vectors of pathogens, including filarial nematodes, which can affect animal and human health. This review synthesizes current knowledge of filarial nematodes that utilize ticks as vectors, focusing on the Onchocercidae.

Annotated List of the Hard Ticks (Acari: Ixodida: Ixodidae) of New Jersey

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2019
Standardized tick surveillance requires an understanding of which species may be present. After a thorough review of the scientific literature, as well as government documents, and careful evaluation of existing accessioned tick collections (vouchers) in museums and other repositories, we have determined that the verifiable hard tick fauna of New ...

The Ticks (Arachnida: Acari: Ixodida) of Arkansas [PDF]

, 2016
Although ticks are a nuisance to humans and other animals, they are an important part of the biota of North America. In addition, they are vectors of many tick-borne disease agents that can negatively affect higher vertebrates.
