Contrasting epigenetics of Ixodes scapularis populations

2025-10-09

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> Hard ticks are a source of public health concern, in part due to their ability to inhabit different environmental regions, which increases human encounters. In the United States (US), blacklegged ticks ( <italic>Ixodes scapularis</italic> Say), the primary vector of Lyme disease, exhibit various phenotypes depending on their geographic origin (i.e. northern and southern US ticks). A...
