Ixodes scapularis is commonly known as the deer tick or black-legged tick (although some people reserve the latter term for Ixodes pacificus, which is found on the west coast of the US), and in some parts of the US as the bear tick. [2] It was also named Ixodes dammini until it was shown to be the same species in 1993. [3]
Human granulocytic anaplasmosis (HGA) is a tick-borne, infectious disease caused by Anaplasma phagocytophilum, an obligate intracellular bacterium that is typically transmitted to humans by ticks of the Ixodes ricinus species complex, including Ixodes scapularis and Ixodes pacificus in North America.
Biological vector transmission is through ticks that carry a blood parasite able to cause anaplasmosis. The most common Anaplasmosis-causing tick is Ixodes scapularis, also known as the black-legged tick or the deer tick. [9] [10] Ticks who contain species of many different Anaplasma species can transmit this disease through a bite. The blood ...
Ixodes hexagonus Ixodes pacificus Ixodes ricinus Ixodes scapularis Ixodes uriae. Ixodes is a genus of hard-bodied ticks (family Ixodidae).It includes important disease vectors of animals and humans (tick-borne disease), and some species (notably Ixodes holocyclus) inject toxins that can cause paralysis.
Tick Ixodes ricinus, developmental stages. In Europe, the main vector is Ixodes ricinus, which is also called the sheep tick or castor bean tick. [80] In China, Ixodes persulcatus (the taiga tick) is probably the most important vector. [81] In North America, the black-legged tick or deer tick (Ixodes scapularis) is the main vector on the East ...
Vector: at least 15 species of ticks in the genus Ixodes, including deer tick (Ixodes scapularis (=I. dammini), I. pacificus, I. ricinus (Europe), I. persulcatus (Asia)) [28] Endemic to: The Americas and Eurasia; Symptoms: Fever, arthritis, neuroborreliosis, erythema migrans, cranial nerve palsy, carditis, fatigue, and influenza-like illness [29]
Sheep ticks (Ixodes ricinus), such as this engorged female, transmit the disease It is transmitted by the bite of several species of infected woodland ticks , including Ixodes scapularis , I. ricinus and I. persulcatus , [ 8 ] or (rarely) through the non-pasteurized milk of infected cows.
Deer tick may refer to a few different Ixodes spp.: Ixodes scapularis, the eastern North America black-legged tick; Ixodes pacificus, the western North America black-legged tick; Ixodes ricinus, the European tick sometimes called a "deer tick" or "sheep tick"
