Differential diagnosis of tick-borne diseases and population genetic analysis of Babesia bovis and Babesia bigemina
Abstract: Tick-borne diseases are a constraint to livestock production in many developing countries. They are responsible for high morbidity and mortality resulting in decreased production of meat, milk and other livestock by-products. The most important tick-borne diseases of livestock in …

Molecular Detection and Characterization of Rickettsia sp. in Hard Ticks Collected in Nacogdoches, Texas
<p>The number of cases of tick-borne diseases is increasing in the United States. Many efforts to control ticks have been made and are continuously being developed. These methods include surveillance of ticks and detection of the tick-borne pathogens.This study examined hard ticks in Nacogdoches, …

Statistical modeling and analysis of partially observed infectious diseases
… realizations. In addition, we also considered diseases coinfection models allowing multiple strains transmission and recovery. For each model, Bayesian inference approach was developed and implemented via MCMC framework using extensive data augmentation schema. Throughout, we consider two most …

Maintaining pathogens with short infectivity in seasonally structured tick populations: relative importance of three transmission pathways
Infectivity periods of different tick-borne pathogens in host species can vary widely, and the variation affects how the pathogens are maintained in tick populations. In addition to systemic and vertical transmission, cofeeding transmission has been proposed as an important route for the …

Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices Regarding Tickborne Diseases in Long Island, New York
Most vector-borne disease cases in the USA are transmitted through the bite of ticks. In the Northeast, tickborne infections are a major public health concern and a source of significant morbidity. Human-centric factors that influence tickborne disease risk include the knowledge, attitudes, and …

Modeling the Impact Of Environmental Factors, Diapause and Control Strategies on Tick and Tick-Borne Disease Dynamics
… vector responsible for a wide variety of diseases: ticks. Due to climate change, various tick species are rapidly spreading northward from the United States and have increasingly affected the Canadian population through a variety of tick-borne diseases including Lyme disease. In order to …

Interference with biologic transmission of Anaplasma marginale by targeting the tick-pathogen interface
Ticks are globally renowned vectors for numerous zoonoses. Ixodid ticks transmit a variety of viral, bacterial, and protozoan pathogens to their vertebrate hosts. Because of the expansion of the geographic ranges of both ticks and pathogens, increasing tick populations, emerging tick-borne …

Tick Control Methods for <i>Amblyomma americanum</i> in Virginia: Applications and Modeling
<p>Tick-borne diseases continue to increase in the United States, and yet no comprehensive method of tick control currently exists. The lone star tick, <em>Amblyomma americanum</em>, is an aggressive human-biting tick and vector of several pathogens which effect both humans and other animals. …

Investigation of how vegetation, small mammal interactions, and land-use determine blacklegged tick abundance
… land-use patterns have caused the expansion of tick ranges across much of the northeastern United States, which has serious implications for public health. Ticks serve as vectors for numerous tick-borne diseases, which can become more prevalent as tick ranges expand and their populations …

A Hitchhiker’s Guide to Invasion Biology: Describing the Ecological Mechanisms Underlying the Range Expansions of Two Ixodid Tick Species
<p>Increasing incidence of many tick-borne diseases have been linked to recent expansions of tick species distributions. Many tick species are expanding their ranges because of anthropogenic changes in the landscape, shifting climatic variables, and increasing populations of suitable host species …

THE EFFECT OF BIOTIC AND ABIOTIC FACTORS WITHIN THE SOIL ENVIRONMENT ON THE MORTALITY OF IXODES SCAPULARIS DURING THEIR OFF-HOST PERIODS
The blacklegged tick (Ixodes scapularis) is the primary vector for multiple widespread tick-borne diseases in the United States, including anaplasmosis, babesiosis, Powassan virus, and Lyme disease. This species spends most of its two-year life cycle either questing for hosts on leaf litter and …

Ecology and molecular epidemiology of tick-borne infection in Kachia Grazing Reserve, Nigeria
Ticks and tick-borne infections (TBIs) are serious veterinary and medical concerns in much of sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Despite their economic importance, information on the epidemiology of these infections in many SSA countries, including Nigeria, is lacking or inadequate, resulting in potentially …
