We evaluated the effect of the number of hot (T > 25 掳C), dry (precipitation = 0) days during the questing periods of the two immature Ixodes scapularis life stages (larval and nymphal) on inter-annual variation in Lyme disease incidence between 2000 and 2011 in long-term endemic ...
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...
pacificus (all life stages) presence locations distributed across 51 counties as presence points Eisen et al. 2018) to develop five Projections of future suitability for Ixodes pacificus The pattern of modeled future suitable habitat for I. pacificus in California across RCP scenarios was largely ...
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...
