Ixodes scapularis is one of the predominant vectors of Borrelia burgdorferi, the agent of
Lyme disease in the USA. The geographic distribution of I. scapularis, endemic to the …

We argue that self-regulation in tick population dynamics in the natural world is not
associated with the egg-production saturation, that was normally assumed in existing …

Abstract Background Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus (Canestrini, 1888), the Asian
blue tick, is a highly invasive and adaptable ectoparasite. This tick species has successfully …

Ticks are a public health threat due to their tendency to spread pathogens that affect humans
and animals. With reports of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus invasion in neighbouring …

This paper presents a tick-borne disease transmission model with a Filippov-type control
strategy that involves spraying insecticides to kill ticks once the number of infected hosts …

Immunisation of livestock with high-quality vaccines and the use of acaricides are highly
ranked tick control strategies worldwide. However, the effects of coupling livestock …

Tick infestation and tick-borne disease spread in a region of multiple adjacent patches with
different environmental conditions depend heavily on the host mobility and patch-specific …

This study aims to develop a nonlinear robust controller with adaptive gains to prevent
disease outbreaks in a tick-borne disease system. The transmission of tick-borne disease is …

Considering that co-feeding transmission depends on the loads of infected ticks on each
host, we develop a tick-borne disease dynamics model with co-feeding transmission …

Background: Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus (Canestrini, 1888), the Asian blue tick, is
a highly invasive and adaptable ectoparasite. It has successfully established itself in most …
