Summary: Controlling tick populations is believed to reduce human exposure to tick-borne diseases. However, this study found that two methods of tick control, tick control system (TCS) bait boxes and Met52 spray, did not significantly reduce tick abundance, tick encounters, or tick-borne disease cases over several years.

Summary: Wildlife, such as the free-ranging nilgai antelope, can complicate the management of vector-borne livestock diseases like bovine babesiosis. Understanding the movement and habitat use of nilgai is important for developing effective strategies to treat infestations and control the spread of cattle fever ticks (CFTs). In this study, GPS data was used to analyze the movement patterns and home range sizes of nilgai in Texas, providing valuable insights for the eradication program.

Summary: The potential reinvasion of cattle fever ticks threatens the domestic livestock industry in the United States, as these ticks vector the causal agents of bovine babesiosis. Recent studies have found free-living southern cattle tick larvae in the wildlife corridor of Texas, indicating a potential threat of the ticks reemerging. The increasing prevalence of native and exotic wild ungulates, along with widespread acaricide resistance and climate change, undermine efforts to control bovine babesiosis.

Summary: This article provides evidence to support Kalm's identification of Amblyomma americanum based on a modern translation of his 1754 report and other sources. The article also discusses the distributional changes of A. americanum and attributes its current northward expansion to large-scale anthropogenic changes in the landscape. Understanding the history of this tick species and the factors contributing to its expansion is important for predicting its future distribution and potential to transmit human pathogens.

Summary: Ixodes scapularis ticks are expanding their range in northeastern North America, bringing with them pathogens of public health concern. This study found that birds and rodents are reservoir hosts for the ticks, with ground-foraging bird species and species inhabiting open habitat being more susceptible to infestation and transmission of Borrelia bacteria.

Summary: Understanding the role of hosts in the production of infected ticks is crucial for designing effective measures to reduce exposure to infectious tick bites. Research efforts on the reservoir host potential of wild birds in Lyme borreliosis circulation have focused more on tick production than on realized reservoir competence and bird density. More interdisciplinary research is needed to gain a comprehensive understanding of pathogen-tick-host systems at a local scale.

Summary: Understanding the factors influencing pathogen emergence and spillover risk is important for predicting disease outbreaks. This study investigated the adaptation of the Lyme disease pathogen, Borrelia burgdorferi, to different hosts by infecting American robins and white-footed mice with strains of different genotypes. The results showed that strain-dependent variation in pathogen burden and persistence in hosts was associated with early survival and transmission to larvae. This suggests the role of directional selective pressure and multiple-niche polymorphism in maintaining pathogen diversity. These findings contribute to our understanding of host adaptation in microparasites.

Summary: The Asian longhorned tick, originally from East Asia, was first reported in the United States in 2017 and has since established populations in at least 17 states. Previous studies did not find this tick on migrating passerine birds, but we have now discovered its presence on migratory birds in the Americas.

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: Parasites may impair host behavior, as shown in the impact of blacklegged tick parasitism on western fence lizard contest behavior. Tick infestation reduced lizard aggressiveness, but there was no evidence that host body size or coloration are correlated with aggression. Manipulation experiments are useful in understanding host-parasite interactions, adding to the existing evidence on the costs of tick parasitism for lizards.

Summary: Haemaphysalis longicornis, the Asian longhorned tick, is an invasive species rapidly spreading in the northeastern and southeastern regions of the United States. Despite feeding on a large number of wildlife hosts, there is currently a low potential for this tick species to acquire pathogens.

Summary: In October 2020, three captive male white-tailed deer were found dead in central Pennsylvania due to high burdens of winter tick infestation, while a fourth was euthanized for extreme lethargy. This situation highlights the importance for deer producers and managers to be vigilant about possible winter tick infestations during mild winters.

The best supported models show that tick infestation negatively impacts moose survival, and reducing tick effects can be achieved through managing moose density and habitat.

Summary: Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (Bbsl) is a bacterial species complex that causes Lyme borreliosis, the most frequently reported vector-borne disease in the Northern hemisphere. Host and vector associations play a crucial role in the geographic distribution and speciation of Bbsl, which are relevant to human health. Current knowledge on host associations in Bbsl is limited and further research, particularly experimental studies using xenodiagnosis and genomics, is needed to fully understand the interactions among hosts, vectors, and bacteria involved in this complex system.

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.
