Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Zoology
  • Genus

Tick, Ixodidae, Ecology, Zoology and Ixodes scapularis are his primary areas of study. His Tick research integrates issues from Genetic Speciation, Allopatric speciation and Vicariance. His Ixodidae study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Nymph.

His study ties his expertise on Tick vector together with the subject of Ecology. His research in Zoology intersects with topics in Phylogeography and Genetic structure. In his research on the topic of Ixodes scapularis, Ixodes affinis is strongly related with Lyme disease microbiology.

His most cited work include:

  • Ixodes (Ixodes) scapularis (Acari:Ixodidae): redescription of all active stages, distribution, hosts, geographical variation, and medical and veterinary importance. (185 citations)
  • Illustrated key to nymphs of the tick genus Amblyomma (Acari: Ixodidae) found in the United States. (171 citations)
  • A state-by-state survey of ticks recorded from humans in the United States. (147 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary areas of study are Zoology, Ecology, Tick, Ixodidae and Acari. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Host and Mite. Tick is a subfield of Veterinary medicine that Lance A. Durden tackles.

He combines subjects such as Ixodes and Nymph with his study of Ixodidae. His Ixodes scapularis study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Lyme disease and Amblyomma americanum. The concepts of his Dermacentor variabilis study are interwoven with issues in Dermacentor andersoni and Dermacentor.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Zoology (54.38%)
  • Ecology (38.25%)
  • Tick (36.41%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Zoology (54.38%)
  • Tick (36.41%)
  • Louse (13.36%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary scientific interests are in Zoology, Tick, Louse, Sucking louse and Acari. His Zoology research incorporates themes from Host and Mite. He is involved in the study of Tick that focuses on Ixodes scapularis in particular.

His work deals with themes such as Lyme disease, Rhipicephalus sanguineus, Dermacentor variabilis, Dermacentor andersoni and Ixodes uriae, which intersect with Ixodes scapularis. His work is dedicated to discovering how Louse, Lemur are connected with Ectoparasitism and other disciplines. His studies in Ixodidae integrate themes in fields like Mating, Nidicolous, Nest and Arthropod mouthparts.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The Amblyomma maculatum Koch, 1844 (Acari: Ixodidae) group of ticks: phenotypic plasticity or incipient speciation? (22 citations)
  • Far-Reaching Dispersal of Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Lato-Infected Blacklegged Ticks by Migratory Songbirds in Canada. (10 citations)
  • Extensive Distribution of the Lyme Disease Bacterium, Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Lato, in Multiple Tick Species Parasitizing Avian and Mammalian Hosts across Canada (9 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Ecology
  • Zoology
  • Genus

Zoology, Tick, Lyme disease, Ixodes scapularis and Nymph are his primary areas of study. His work carried out in the field of Zoology brings together such families of science as Microcebus murinus and Mouse lemur. His Mouse lemur study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Acariformes, Trombiculidae, Rodent and Animal ecology.

His work in the fields of Tick, such as Ixodes cookei and Ixodidae, overlaps with other areas such as Enzootic. His work in Sucking louse tackles topics such as Psocodea which are related to areas like Nearctic ecozone, Identification key and Host. His studies deal with areas such as Babesiosis, Bird migration, Biological dispersal and Babesia as well as Sensu.
