Powassan virus is an emerging tick-borne of concern for public health, but very little known about its transmission patterns and ecology. Here, we expanded the genomic dataset by sequencing 279 viruses isolated from Ixodes scapularis ticks northeastern United States. Our phylogeographic reconstructions revealed that lineage II was likely introduced or emerged a relict population in Northeast between 1940 1975. Sequences strongly clustered sampling location, suggesting highly focal...
This project was supported by a grant from the Northeast Integrated Pest Management Center In recent past bed bug, Cimex lectularius, seemed almost creature of myth. It rarely seen structural pest control industry and public had no contact with it. More recently, bugs have become significant economic potential health threat in many places where people sleep, including homes, rental units, hotels college dormitories. The increase bug complaints indicates need for national survey to quantify...
Thrips exhibit different reproductive modes including thelytoky (females produced from unfertilized eggs), arrhenotoky (males eggs and females fertilized eggs) deuterotoky males eggs).We investigated patterns of in onion thrips, tabaci Lindeman, populations potential effects the bacterium Wolbachia temperature on these modes.We also examined possibility that male-producing T. were resistant to frequently used insecticides, lambda-cyhalothrin methomyl.In New York during 2002Ð2004, sampled 20...

Schoolyards and suburban parks are two environments where active tick surveillance may inform local management approaches. Even in a state such as New York with robust programme operated by the Department of Health, these settings not routinely covered. The goal this study was to highlight importance for tick-borne pathogens describing their prevalence ticks collected from schoolyards guide use integrated pest settings. Tick dragging performed three regions State: Long Island, Lower Hudson...
Abstract Mosquito-borne disease (MBD) incidence is increasing in the United States (U.S.), presenting an evolving health threat. Assessments of public perceptions have revealed limited awareness MBDs among U.S. population. Our team used focus groups to gain in-depth understanding risk regarding mosquito exposure and pesticide use, benefit motivators for bite prevention strategies. A total 37 individuals participated across 3 states: New Jersey (n = 14), York 15), Massachusetts 8). Most...
