NEON samples tick populations at terrestrial field sites across the United States to characterize patterns of tick abundance, diversity, and pathogen status.

Oct 31, 2018 · NEON field scientists gather data to monitor the presence and abundance of different tick species at the NEON’s terrestrial field sites and determine which pathogens these …

May 27, 2020 · Understanding why tick populations are increasing, and why some species are spreading into new geographic areas, is of critical importance to public health. In a recent …

There are six tick sampling plots within each of the 46 terrestrial NEON sites where tick sampling occurs (excluding Hawaii). Plots are distributed across National Landcover Database (NLCD) …

This data product contains the quality-controlled, native sampling resolution data derived from NEON's tick pathogen testing. Products resulting from this sampling include results of testing …

may arise from changes in human land- and resource-use practices. Based on these epidemiological and ecological characteristic ticks and tick-borne pathogens will be ampled …

The NEON Biorepository receives genomic DNA extracts from individual nymphs of Ixodes scapularis and Amblyomma americanum which include tick and any associated pathogen DNA.

Tick drags occur every three weeks at the NEON sites used in this challenge. The sampling season at each site is determined by phenological milestones, beginning and ending within …

Tick and tick-borne pathogen sampling involves the collection of ticks using drag and/or flag sampling. Following minimal in-house processing, samples will be sent to one or more external …
