Our study is consistent with previous evidence suggesting that reducing tick abundance in residential areas might not reduce incidence of TBDs in humans.

Tick abundance, diversity and pathogen data collected ... - USGS.gov

Cases of tick-borne diseases have been steadily increasing in the USA, owing in part to tick range expansion, land cover and associated host ...

Importance of Host Abundance and Microhabitat in Tick Abundance

Ticks are the major vectors of zoonoses, so factors determining their abundance, such as host mammal abundance and microhabitat conditions, should be clarified.

Environmental factors driving fine-scale ixodid tick abundance patterns

We hypothesized that host abundance is a major driver of local tick abundance. Tick burden was modelled with environment, host, and land-use predictors.

Effects of Tick-Control Interventions on Tick Abundance, Human ...

Tickborne diseases (TBDs) such as Lyme disease result in ≈500,000 diagnoses annually in the United States. Various methods can reduce the abundance of ticks at.

Tick abundance and diversity are substantially lower in thinned vs ...

Forest thinning creates warmer and drier microclimates, which are unfavorable to ticks. Across all species, tick abundance was 92% lower on average in thinned ...

Tick abundance, pathogen prevalence, and disease incidence in ...

We compare disease incidence, vector abundance and pathogen prevalence in eastern and western Norway differing in the number of tick-borne disease cases.

Monitoring questing winter tick abundance on traditional moose ...

The Penobscot Nation developed a novel strategy to sample questing winter ticks (ie, ticks that are actively seeking hosts) using a plot-based sampling ...

A tick detective wants to understand what drives tick abundance

A tick expert explains his work trying to understand why the abundance of the parasites vary so much from location to location and year to ...

Linking weather conditions and winter tick abundance in moose

Winter tick load on moose decreased with the number of consecutive days with relative humidity <80% in summer and this trend was exacerbated ...

Predicting the spatial abundance of Ixodes ricinus ticks in southern ...

Recently, focus on tick-borne diseases has increased as ticks and their pathogens have become widespread and represent a health problem in ...

Effects of Climate on the Variation in Abundance of Three Tick ...

The aim of this study was to determine if climate factors explain existing differences in abundance of the three aforementioned tick species.

Multiple factors affecting Ixodes ricinus ticks and associated ... - Nature

We observed a close association between tick abundance and the abundance of Cervidae, Leporidae, and birds. The tick-borne pathogens responsible ...

Questing tick abundance in urban and peri-urban parks in the ...

This study aimed to estimate tick abundance in three parks, two urban (U1, U2) and one peri-urban (PU), in and around the city of Lyon (France).

Models and data used to predict the abundance and distribution of ...

Tick-borne diseases (TBDs) like Lyme disease (Borrelia burgdorferi) pose a significant public health threat in North America due to their increasing incidence.

Can Tick Microbiome Explain Nonlinear Relationship between Tick ...

Regarding Borrelia, tick microbiome composition and diversity influence Borrelia acquisition in ticks [18,19]. For instance, the abundance of ...

High tick abundance and diversity of tick-borne pathogens in a ...

The relatively high abundance of ticks and high diversity and overall prevalence of tick-borne pathogens suggest a lively and dense presence of ...
