Wildlife vertebrate hosts are integral to enzootic cycles of tick-borne pathogens, and in some
cases have played key roles in the recent rise of ticks and tick-borne diseases in North …

Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne disease in North America and Europe. The
clinical manifestations of Lyme disease vary based on the genospecies of the infecting …

Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne disease in the northern hemisphere and is
caused by spirochetes of the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex. Lyme borreliae infect …

Modern infectious disease outbreaks often involve changes in host tropism, the preferential
adaptation of pathogens to specific hosts. The Lyme disease-causing bacterium Borrelia …

Powassan virus is an emerging tick-borne virus of concern for public health, but very little is
known about its transmission patterns and ecology. Here, we expanded the genomic dataset …

Background Lyme disease is emerging in Canada due to expansion of the range of the tick
vector Ixodes scapularis from the United States. National surveillance for human Lyme …

Lyme disease, caused by spirochetes in the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato clade within the
Borrelia genus, is transmitted by Ixodes ticks and is currently the most prevalent and rapidly …

Lyme borreliosis is the most common vector-borne zoonosis in the northern hemisphere,
and the pathogens causing Lyme borreliosis have distinct, incompletely described …

Vector‐borne pathogens exist in obligate transmission cycles between vector and reservoir
host species. Host and vector shifts can lead to geographic expansion of infectious agents …

Predicting pathogen emergence and spillover risk requires understanding the determinants
of a pathogens' host range and the traits involved in host competence. While host …
