Whole Genome Sequencing Reveals Clade-Specific Genetic Variation in Blacklegged Ticks. [PDF]
Ecol EvolIn this study, we performed whole genome nanopore sequencing of individual blacklegged ticks across their geographical range to evaluate genetic divergence among populations. Our integrated analyses identified genetic variants associated with numerous biological processes and molecular functions that segregated across populations.

Dermacentor variabilis (Ixodida: Ixodidae) in Panama: report associated with tourism [PDF]
Journal of Vector Ecology, 2010 Ticks are the principal vectors of several pathogenic agents in animals and can transmit disease agents to humans (Dantas-Torres et al. 2009). The global tourism industry, international pet commerce, and the general expansion of international travel have facilitated the transportation of ticks to new localities outside their natural distributions.
