Host Associations and Seasonal Activity of Amblyomma americanum (Acari: Ixodidae) in Missouri
TLDR
Eastern cottontail rabbits, white-tailed deer, raccoons, and squirrels had the highest relative abundance of larval lone star ticks, but they were also found on opossums and wild turkey.

Ticks parasitizing humans in Georgia and South Carolina.
TLDR
Lone star ticks, Amblyomma americanum, were a much more prevalent parasite of humans in the current survey and have epidemiological significance because these tick species are vectors of zoonotic pathogens or cause tick paralysis in humans.

Evolution of ticks.
TLDR
An analysis of tick-host and -habitat associations and biogeographical patterns, in the context of the newly derived phylogenies, suggests that much of the existing host-association patterns may be explained as artifacts of biogeography and ecological specificity.

An enzootic transmission cycle of Lyme borreliosis spirochetes in the southeastern United States
TLDR
The presence of the LD spirochete B. burgdorferi sensu stricto, three main reservoir hosts, and two enzootic tick vectors in the southeastern U.S., where there is controversy as to the presence of “true” LD, is reported.

Idiosomal lyrifissures, Setae, and small glands as taxonomic characters and potential indicators of ancestral segmentation patterns in larval ixodidae (Acari: Ixodida)
Abstract Variability in idiosomal chaetotaxy, lyrifissure, and gland patterns among ixodid larvae is assessed based on a comparative analysis of these structures in 53 species of ixodid ticks. A…

Genetic heterogeneity of Borrelia burgdorferi in the United States.
TLDR
Results indicate that spirochetal isolates from the United States fall into two major divisions and nine or more subdivisions; human isolates fell into five of these subdivisions.

Lyme borreliosis in the southern United States: a review.
  • J. Oliver
  • Biology
    The Journal of parasitology
  • 1 December 1996
TLDR
New data show that B. burgdorferi is widely distributed in the south and that strains are genetically more varied than in the north, and enzootic cycles appear to be more complex and more tick species are identified as vectors of the spirochete in the southern states.
