Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Biological Sciences, 2019 Mice Against Ticks is a community-guided ecological engineering project that aims to prevent tick-borne disease by using CRISPR-based genome editing to heritably immunize the white-footed mice (Peromyscus leucopus) responsible for infecting many ticks in

Effects of temperature on bacterial microbiome composition in Ixodes scapularis ticks
MicrobiologyOpen, 2019 Ixodes scapularis, the blacklegged deer tick, is the principal vector of Lyme disease in North America. Environmental factors are known to influence regional and seasonal incidence of Lyme disease and possibly the endemicity of the disease to the ...

Ticks and tick-borne diseases [PDF]
Médecine et Maladies Infectieuses, 2019 Ticks are a major group of arthropod vectors, characterized by the diversity of pathogens they transmit, by their impact on human and animal health, and by their socioeconomic implication especially in countries of the Southern Hemisphere. In Europe, Ixodes is the most important tick due to its wide distribution in the ecosystems and the variety of ...

Cascading effects of predator activity on tick-borne disease risk
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2017 Predators and competitors of vertebrates can in theory reduce the density of infected nymphs (DIN)—an often-used measure of tick-borne disease risk—by lowering the density of reservoir-competent hosts and/or the tick burden on reservoir-competent hosts ...
