Genetic and landscape connectivity of blacklegged ticks during range expansion in select states of the Midwestern U.S.

2025-05-19

Abstract excerpt

Since the 1970s, the Midwestern USA has experienced an expansion of blacklegged ticks ( Ixodes scapularis ), the primary vector of Lyme disease caused by Borrelia burgdorferi , leading to increased Lyme disease incidence. Public health surveillance indicates that Northwestern Wisconsin has served as refugia for these ticks, seeding an expansion into neighboring states such as Michigan. However, the process of re...
