Human infections are strongly associated with the season of tick activity, history of tick bite and distribution of the vectors. Most cases of human monocytic ehrlichiosis are reported between March and November in the south-central and southeastern USA, where Amblyomma americanum is prevalent. Human...
There is a New Tick in town Rodents & Lyme Disease Rodents play an integral role in the life-cycle of Ticks. Far more important than birds, rodents are territorial and continue the pathogen-vector relationship which is then passed on to larger hosts (mainly deer) for the final act. The ...
John McCauley found himself in the limelight when he joined Nirvana onstage for a surprise reunion set at US festival Cal Jam recently. The Deer Tick frontman wowed fans of the grunge legends with his eerily proficient vocals, but there's much more to him than that. With seven albums of ...

Some Contradictory Results from Connecticut, based on Insular Enivronments The Relationship Between Deer Density, Tick Abundance, and Human Cases of Lyme Disease in a Residential Community Journal of Medical Entomology, Howard J. Kilpatrick,1,2 Andrew M. Labonte,1 and Kirby C. Stafford, III3 ...
This is presumably due to roe deer density being above a certain threshold so that availability of tick reproduction hosts has no apparent effect on ticks' host finding and consequently may not be possible to correlate with incidence of human TBE. 展开 ...
The Relationship Between Deer Density, Tick Abundance, and Human Cases of Lyme Disease in a Residential Community White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus Zimmerman), serve as the primary host for the adult blacklegged tick (Ixodes scapularis Say), the vector for Lyme... HJ Kilpatrick,AM Labont...
A human or dog can be bitten by the Deer Tick any stage of its development. It locates a host by "questing", which involves climbing onto grass tips or leaves where it sits with its front legs extended, waiting for a host to brush past and "ambushing" the host, clinging on. ...
with many notable tick-borne diseases, such as anaplasmosis, babesiosis, ehrlichiosis and Lyme disease, attracting substantial medical attention [2]. Vector control is regarded as one of the more promising means for reducing human tick bites and preventing pathogen transmission. However, conventional ...
