Modeling Effects of Vertebrate Host Exclosures and Host-Targeted Acaricides on Lone Star Tick (<i>Amblyomma americanum</i>, L.) Infestations

Modeling Effects of Vertebrate Host Exclosures and Host-Targeted Acaricides on Lone Star Tick (<i>Amblyomma americanum</i>, L.) Infestations

We used a spatially explicit model to simulate the potential effects of exclosures and acaricides targeted at medium-sized mammalian hosts on the local distribution and abundance of lone star ticks (<i>Amblyomma americanum</i>) within forestlands of the southeastern United States. Both e...
