Natural history of Amblyomma maculatum in Virginia
چکیده انگلیسی
The Gulf Coast tick Amblyomma maculatum Koch is increasingly relevant to medical and veterinary communities as human infection rates of Rickettsia parkeri rise, the risk of introduction of Ehrlichia ruminantium increases, and the range of this tick expands into the densely populated Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. We report on the results of five years of field surveillance to better describe the ecology of A. maculatum in newly established populations in southeastern Virginia. We document habitat preferences, host preferences, and the phenology of the adult human-biting life stage. We discuss key ecological factors needed for A. maculatum establishment and the influence of the successional process and anthropogenic activities on the persistence of A. maculatum populations in Virginia.
