| a dynamic population model to investigate effects of climate on geographic range and seasonality of the tick ixodes scapularis. | a dynamic population model of ixodes scapularis, the vector of a number of tick-borne zoonoses in north america, was developed to simulate effects of temperature on tick survival and seasonality. tick development rates were modelled as temperature-dependent time delays, calculated using mean monthly normal temperature data from specific meteorological stations. temperature also influenced host-finding success in the model. using data from stations near endemic populations of i. scapularis, the m ... | 2005 | 15777914 |
| ixodes scapularis ticks collected by passive surveillance in canada: analysis of geographic distribution and infection with lyme borreliosis agent borrelia burgdorferi. | passive surveillance for the occurrence of the tick ixodes scapularis say (1821) and their infection with the lyme borreliosis spirochaetes borrelia burgdorferi s.l. has taken place in canada since early 1990. ticks have been submitted from members of the public, veterinarians, and medical practitioners to provincial, federal, and university laboratories for identification, and the data have been collated and b. burgdorferi detected at the national microbiology laboratory. the locations of colle ... | 2006 | 16739422 |

| Widespread dispersal of Borrelia burgdorferi-infected ticks collected from songbirds across Canada. | Abstract Millions of Lyme disease vector ticks are dispersed annually by songbirds across Canada, but often overlooked as the source of infection. For clarity on vector distribution, we sampled 481 ticks (12 species and 3 undetermined ticks) from 211 songbirds (42 species/subspecies) nationwide. Using PCR, 52 (29.5%) of 176 Ixodes ticks tested were positive for the Lyme disease spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi s.l. Immature blacklegged ticks, Ixodes scapularis, collected from infested songbird ... | 2011 | 21864130 |
| active and passive surveillance and phylogenetic analysis of borrelia burgdorferi elucidate the process of lyme disease risk emergence in canada. | northward expansion of the tick ixodes scapularis is driving lyme disease (ld) emergence in canada. information on mechanisms involved is needed to enhance surveillance and identify where ld risk is emerging. | 2010 | 20421192 |
