Tick-borne pathogensVector-borne diseasesBlacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis) spend the majority of their life cycle off host, typically in woodland habitat, but require a blood meal at each of three life stages (larva, nymph, adult) to reach maturity and reproduce. Blood feeding usually lasts...
Results indicate that managing Japanese barberry will have a positive effect on public health by reducing the number of B. burgdorferi-infected blacklegged ticks that can develop into motile life stages that commonly feed on humans. 展开 关键词: blacklegged tick Japanese barberry Lyme disease white...
scapularis takes approximately two years to complete and is composed of four life stages (egg, larva, nymph, adult). After the eggs hatch, the ticks require a blood meal at each subsequent life stage to survive and develop (United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2020). ...
Additionally, using high-throughput DNA sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene, I have provided the first assessment of the internal bacterial community structure across all developmental stages of this tick species. I found Rickettsia to be the relatively abundant bacterial genus across life stages, ...
Drag sampling efficiency, the proportion of the estimated population obtained in a single sample, averaged 6.3% among all stages. Efficiency was not significantly different among stages and was independent of tick density within a given life stage. The population estimation techniques employed in this...
