DOI: 10.1080/01647954.2020.1758776
Abstract: ABSTRACT Understanding how patterns of host-seeking behaviour differ across demographic classes in Amblyomma americanum (L.), the lone star tick, is essential in evaluating species potential as a vector of pathogens. Our objective was to characterize… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jme/tjac183
Abstract: Abstract As resistance in economically and medically important ixodids (hard ticks, Ixodida: Ixodidae) to conventional synthetic toxin-based acaricides has become increasingly widespread, research efforts to identify alternative control tactics have intensified. Laboratory bioassays on the… read more here.
