  • Title: Rates of Borrelia burgdorferi infection in Ixodes dammini (Acari: Ixodidae) in southwestern Wisconsin.

    Journal: J Med Entomol; 1992 Mar; 29(2):314-7. PubMed ID: 1495049.
    Abstract:
    Ixodes dammini Spielman, Clifford, Piesman & Corwin collected from a study site in southwestern Wisconsin were examined for Borrelia burgdorferi infection. Adult spirochete infection rates varied seasonally (38.1%, spring 1990; 60.3%, fall 1990; 41.2%, spring 1991) and were similar to or higher than rates reported in various studies from the northeastern United States. Statistical comparison of seasonal infection rates indicated a significant difference between the fall 1990 adult population and the subsequent overwintered population of the same cohort (spring 1991). Additionally, a significant decrease in the intensity of spirochete infection was observed in the overwintered adult sample.
