The Impacts of Climate Change on Ticks and Tick-Borne Disease Risk
Annual Review of Entomology, 2021 Ticks exist on all continents and carry more zoonotic pathogens than any other type of vector. Ticks spend most of their lives in the external environment away from the host and are thus expected to be affected by changes in climate.

Genomic insights into the Ixodes scapularis tick vector of Lyme disease
Nature Communications, 2016 Ticks transmit more pathogens to humans and animals than any other arthropod. We describe the 2.1 Gbp nuclear genome of the tick, Ixodes scapularis (Say), which vectors pathogens that cause Lyme disease, human granulocytic anaplasmosis, babesiosis and ...
