To beat or not to beat a tick: Comparison of DNA extraction methods from ticks ( <i>Ixodes scapularis</i> )

2015-02-17

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Blacklegged ticks ( Ixodes scapularis) are important disease vectors in the United States, known to transmit a variety of pathogens to humans, including bacteria, protozoa, and viruses. Their importance as a disease vector necessitates reliable and comparable methods for extracting microbial DNA from ticks. Furthermore, to explore the population genetics or genomics of this tick, appropriate...
