“…For example, in 2002, a new population of I. scapularis was detected in the southwestern corner of Michigan's Lower Peninsula (17). These ticks subsequently invaded north through coastal dune forests along the Lake Michigan lakeshore (23,24). In tracking this range expansion over a 5-year sampling period, we have documented the presence of multiple strains of B. burgdorferi not only in recently invaded I. scapularis ticks and their rodent hosts but also in other tick and wildlife species prior to the arrival of I. scapularis.…”

“…To increase our search intensity for locally established I. scapularis, we sampled the small mammal community with a particular focus on white-footed mice and eastern chipmunks, as these are the most sensitive indicators of low-density I. scapularis in lower Michigan (24). To validate our sampling methods, we also trapped mammals 90 km due west of Pitsfield at Van Buren State Park (South Haven, MI), where I. scapularis was known to be established (23). Both areas were sampled in May and June, when I. scapularis larvae and nymphs are active simultaneously (17).…”

“…Typically the prevalence of these agents is much lower than B. burgdorferi (Varde et al 1998;Holman et al 2004;Kogut et al 2005;Brackney et al 2008) and these agents may be absent from some blacklegged tick populations. For example, B. microti was not detected in selected tick populations in Maryland (Swanson and Norris 2007) and Michigan (Hamer et al 2007). Further study is required to determine the extent to which these pathogens are present in blacklegged ticks in Canada, though it is possible that bird-borne I. scapularis, infected with these agents, could cause locally acquired infections among Canadians (Ogden et al 2008c).…”

“…A long the borders of the northeastern and the upper midwestern United States, black-legged ticks (Ixodes scapularis) are invading new areas (1)(2)(3). Because this tick is the principal vector of a number of human pathogens, defi ning and monitoring its possible expansion are imperative.…”
