Behavioral Manipulation of Ixodes scapularis by Ehrlichia muris eauclairensis: Implications for Tick-Borne Disease Transmission

Joseph A. Aspinwall, Bárbara Weck, Larissa Almeida Martins…·Taís B. Saito

This study shows Ehrlichia muris eauclairensis alters behavior in Ixodes scapularis nymphs, increasing movement speed, bite site-seeking, and feeding duration, with implications for tick-borne disease transmission.
