When clades collide: Genomic admixture in blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis) from the Great Plains

2026-06-04

Abstract excerpt

Ixodes scapularis ticks transmit a number of pathogens important to human health, including Borrelia burgdorferi , the causative agent of Lyme disease. While I. scapularis is found across the Eastern United States, Lyme disease transmission is largely limited to the Northeast and Upper Midwest and is nearly absent in the South. This indicates that differences in northern versus southern clades of I. scapularis...
