Genetic and landscape connectivity of blacklegged ticks during range expansion in the Midwestern U.S.
2024-12-16
Abstract excerpt
For several decades, the Midwestern USA has been impacted by blacklegged tick ( Ixodes scapularis ) range expansion, which, as the main vector of the Lyme disease-causing bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi , is linked to a regional increase in Lyme disease incidence. Earlier studies of genetic differentiation of blacklegged ticks have not tested detailed hypotheses about range expansion in the Midwest, despite the i...
