Abstract Background The incidence of tick-borne diseases is increasing across the USA, with cases concentrated in northeastern and midwestern regions country. Ixodes scapularis one most important disease vectors has spread throughout USA over past four decades, established populations all states region. Methods To better understand rapid expansion I. pathogens they transmit, we aggregated analyzed abundance pathogen prevalence data from including Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, York...
Lyme disease is the most common wildlife-to-human transmitted reported in North America. The study of this requires an understanding ecology complex communities ticks and host species involved harboring transmitting disease. Much system well understood, such as life cycle ticks, how hosts are able to support tick populations serve reservoirs, but there much be explored about population dynamics different impact risk humans. In study, we construct a stage-structured, empirically-informed...
