Some of the recent papers authored or co-authored by Ginsberg include:

  • "Possible Effects of Climate Change on Ixodid Ticks and the Pathogens They Transmit: Predictions and Observations" (2020, Journal of Medical Entomology)
  • "Why Lyme disease is common in the northern US, but rare in the south: The roles of host choice, host-seeking behavior, and tick density" (2021, PLoS Biology)
  • "Selective Host Attachment by Ixodes scapularis (Acari: Ixodidae): Tick-Lizard Associations in the Southeastern United States" (2021, Journal of Medical Entomology)

Ginsberg has collaborated frequently with several co-authors including:

  • Jean I. Tsao
  • Nicholas H. Ogden
  • Graham J. Hickling
  • Russell L. Burke
  • Lorenza Béati

Their scholarship includes extensive research on vector-borne diseases, focusing on how various vectors such as ticks and mosquitoes contribute to disease transmission. This research often explores ecological and behavioral factors affecting vector-host interactions as well as the implications of environmental changes.

Overall, Ginsberg's work contributes to understanding the dynamics of vector-borne infectious diseases within the interface of environmental factors and public health concerns. Their research outputs inform the academic community about disease ecology, vector behavior, and disease control strategies.
