Tick Species Composition, Collection Rates, and Phenology Provide Insights into Tick-Borne Disease Ecology in Virginia

Ciera N. Morris et al.

Summary: A comparative phenological study was conducted in Virginia to understand tick ecology and the increasing incidence of Lyme disease. The study found that Ixodes scapularis from the northeastern United States may be migrating into western Virginia, contributing to the higher incidence of Lyme disease in the region.

Alec T. Thompson et al.

Summary: This study surveyed ticks collected from animals in 23 different states in the eastern USA, with the primary goal of better characterizing the distribution and host associations of the exotic tick H. longicornis. New distribution data on tick species of veterinary or medical importance were also obtained.

Summary: This study identified the wildlife host range of Asian longhorned ticks (ALT) in the US, with 51 infested individuals from seven different species found in two states. ALT was also detected in the environment in both states, along with three native tick species known to carry pathogens of public health and veterinary importance.

Summary: Passive tick surveillance through photograph submissions has proven to be a valuable tool in documenting tick distributions on a nationwide scale, identifying new foci, and highlighting at-risk localities that could benefit from tick-bite prevention education.

A multi-seasonal study investigating the phenology, host and habitat associations, and pathogens of Haemaphysalis longicornis in Virginia, USA

Alec T. Thompson et al.

Summary: The study on the phenology of Haemaphysalis longicornis in Virginia revealed seasonal differences in tick activity compared to previous studies in the northeastern United States. The presence of this exotic tick was found to be lower in field habitats and during the summer months, and it was detected on several wildlife hosts. Additionally, tick-borne pathogens were analyzed, including the detection of arthropod-borne pathogens native to the United States in host-seeking H. longicornis.
