Landscape and anthropogenic factors associated with adult Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus in small cities in the southern Great Plains
(MDPI AG, 2020-10-13)As mosquito-borne diseases are a growing human health concern in the United States, the distribution and potential arbovirus risk from container-breeding Aedes mosquitoes is understudied in the southern Great Plains. The ... -
Mosquito community and West Nile virus risk on a National Guard training base in Oklahoma
(The American Mosquito Control Association, 2020-06)Military bases are important areas for mosquito surveillance to maintain active duty combat readiness and protect training exercises. The aim of this study was to assist Camp Gruber National Guard training facility personnel ... -
Mosquito-borne parasites in the Great Plains: Searching for vectors of nematodes and avian malaria parasites
(Elsevier BV, 2021)Vector-borne diseases in the United States have recently increased as a result of the changing nature of vectors, hosts, reservoirs, parasite/pathogens, and the ecological and environmental conditions. While most focus has ... -
New records of Aedes aegypti in southern Oklahoma, 2016
(The American Mosquito Control Association, 2017-03)Aedes aegypti is an important subtropical vector species and is predicted to have a limited year-round distribution in the southern United States. Collection of the species has not been officially verified in Oklahoma since ... -
Prevalence of Babesia spp., Ehrlichia spp., and tick infestations in Oklahoma black bears (Ursus americanus)
(Wildlife Disease Association, 2017-10)American black bears (Ursus americanus) are commonly infested with ticks throughout their range, but there are few surveys for tick-borne disease agents in bears. To characterize tick infestations and determine the prevalence ... -
Questing behavior and analysis of tick-borne bacteria in Ixodes scapularis (Acari: Ixodidae) in Oklahoma
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2018-08-06)The blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis Say (Acari: Ixodidae), is an economically important tick that affects veterinary and public health, but it can be difficult to collect in Oklahoma. The primary goal of this research ... -
