Ticks (Acari: Ixodida) on synanthropic small and medium-sized mammals in areas of the northeastern United States infested with the Asian longhorned tick,<i>Haemaphysalis longicornis</i> Open
The northeastern United States is a hot spot for tick-borne diseases. Adding to an already complex vector landscape, in 2017 large populations of the invasive Haemaphysalis longicornis , the Asian longhorned tick, were detected in New Jers…

Land-use change and rodent-borne diseases: hazards on the shared socioeconomic pathways Open
Land-use change has a direct impact on species survival and reproduction, altering their spatio-temporal distributions. It acts as a selective force that favours the abundance and diversity of reservoir hosts and affects host–pathogen dyna…

Surveillance of Ticks and Tick-Borne Pathogens in Suburban Natural Habitats of Central Maryland Open
Lyme and other tick-borne diseases are increasing in the eastern United States and there is a lack of research on integrated strategies to control tick vectors. Here we present results of a study on tick-borne pathogens detected from tick …

Prevalence of protozoan parasites in small and medium mammals in Texas, USA Open
Wildlife interaction with humans increases the risk of potentially infected ticks seeking an opportunistic blood meal and consequently leading to zoonotic transmission. In the United States, human babesiosis is a tick-borne zoonosis most c…

The Ecology and Phylogeny of Hosts Drive the Enzootic Infection Cycles of Hantaviruses Open
Hantaviruses (Family: Hantaviridae; genus: Orthohantavirus) and their associated human diseases occur globally and differ according to their geographic distribution. The structure of small mammal assemblages and phylogenetic relatedness am…

Species Identity Supersedes the Dilution Effect Concerning Hantavirus Prevalence at Sites across Texas and México Open
Recent models suggest a relationship exists between community diversity and pathogen prevalence, the proportion of individuals in a population that are infected by a pathogen, with most inferences tied to assemblage structure. Two contrast…
