New geographical records for tick‐borne pathogens in ticks collected from cattle in Benin and Togo

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 9, Issue 1, Page 345-352, January 2023., 2023
A total of 396 ticks were collected from cattle between 2019 and 2020, and divided in pools (two to six ticks per pool) for molecular screening. The present study highlights the presence of zoonotic agents in ticks collected from cattle in Benin and Togo.

Lyme Disease [PDF]

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2000
Lyme disease, which is caused by Borrelia burgdorferi and transmitted in the United States primarily by Ixodes scapularis (the deer tick), is the most common vector borne disease in the United States. Its most frequent manifestation, a characteristic, expanding annular rash (erythema migrans), sometimes accompanied by myalgia, arthralgia, and malaise ...

A diagnostic classifier for gene expression-based identification of early Lyme disease

Communications Medicine, 2022
Servellita et al. develop a machine learning-based classifier to diagnose Lyme disease using gene expression data. The classifier achieves high sensitivity for early infections, even prior to positivity on antibody testing.

Snakes on the plains: The impacts of habitat structure on snake communities in Illinois grasslands

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 46, Issue 5, December 2022., 2022
We employed GLMMs and a community occupancy model to investigate how habitat structure may influence the relative abundance and diversity of snakes in grasslands. We found woody cover in a grassland patch and the presence of roads around a patch perimeter to be highly associated with both snake relative abundance and diversity.

Epidemiology and clinical manifestations of reported Lyme disease cases: Data from the Canadian Lyme disease enhanced surveillance system.

PLoS ONE, 2023
Lyme disease cases reported in seven Canadian provinces from 2009 to 2019 through the Lyme Disease Enhanced Surveillance System are described herein by demographic, geography, time and season. The proportion of males was greater than females.

Ruffed grouse do not exhibit high potential for reservoir competency of common tick‐borne pathogens

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 46, Issue 5, December 2022., 2022
Blacklegged ticks are vectors for Borrelia burgdorferi and Anaplasma phagocytophilum transmission, thus we sought to identify ruffed grouse as an alternative host of blacklegged ticks by testing for active and previous infections of tick‐borne pathogens. We failed to detect active, or evidence of previous, B.

The utility of “Google Trends” for epidemiological research: Lyme disease as an example

Geospatial Health, 2010
Internet search engines have become an increasingly popular resource for accessing health-related information. The key words used as well as the number and geographic location of searches can provide trend data, as have recently been made available by ...
