Host blood meal identity modifies vector gene expression and competency

2021-07-27

Abstract excerpt

A vector’s susceptibility and ability to transmit a pathogen— termed vector competency—determines disease outcomes, yet the ecological factors influencing tick vector competency remain largely unknown. Ixodes pacificus, the tick vector of Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb) in the western U.S., feeds on rodents, birds, and lizards. Unlike rodents and birds which are reservoirs for Bb and infect juvenile ticks, lizards are r...
