Description
- Ixodes scapularis are highly efficient arthropod vectors of infectious diseases, being able to transmit viruses, bacteria, protozoa, and helminth parasites. It is a vector for human diseases like Lyme borreliosis, human granulocytic anaplasmosis, and babesiosis in the Central and Eastern United States. It belongs to the subarctic Ixodes persulcatus complex of species that include Ixodes ricinus and Ixodes pacificus, vectors of Lyme disease in Asia, Europe and the western US, respectively[1][2].
