Here we present results of a study on tick-borne pathogens detected from tick vectors and rodent reservoirs from an ongoing 5-yr tick suppression study in the Lyme disease-endemic state of Maryland, where human-biting tick species, including Ixodes scapularis Say (Acari: Ixodidae) (the primary vector of Lyme disease spirochetes), are abundant. During the 2017 tick season, we collected 207 questing ticks and 602 ticks recovered from 327 mice (Peromyscus spp. (Rodentia: Cricetidae)), together with blood and ear tissue from the mice, at seven suburban parks in Howard County. Ticks were selectively tested for the presence of the causative agents of Lyme disease (Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato [s.l.]), anaplasmosis (Anaplasma phagocytophilum), babesiosis (Babesia microti), ehrlichiosis (Ehrlichia ewingii, Ehrlichia chaffeensis, and \u2018Panola Mountain\u2019 Ehrlichia) and spotted fever group rickettsiosis (Rickettsia spp.). Peromyscus ear tissue and blood samples were tested for Bo. burgdorferi sensu stricto (s.s), A. phagocytophilum, Ba. microti, and Borrelia miyamotoi. We found 13.6% (15\/110) of questing I. scapularis nymphs to be Bo. burgdorferi s.l. positive and 1.8% (2\/110) were A. phagocytophilum positive among all sites. Borrelia burgdorferi s.s. was found in 71.1% (54\/76) of I. scapularis nymphs removed from mice and 58.8% (194\/330) of captured mice. Results from study on tick abundance and pathogen infection status in questing ticks, rodent reservoirs, and ticks feeding on Peromyscus spp. will aid efficacy evaluation of the integrated tick management measures being implemented.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jme\/tjaa291","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,29]],"date-time":"2021-01-29T08:15:17Z","timestamp":1611908117000},"page":"1352-1362","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Surveillance of Ticks and Tick-Borne Pathogens in Suburban Natural Habitats of Central Maryland"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"58","author":[{"given":"Matthew T","family":"Milholland","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Invasive Insect Biocontrol and Behavior Laboratory, USDA, ARS, BARC-West, Beltsville, MD"},{"name":"AGNR-Environmental Science and Technology, University of Maryland, College Park, MD"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lars","family":"Eisen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Vector-Borne Diseases, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Fort Collins, CO"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1925-2166","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Robyn M","family":"Nadolny","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tick-Borne Disease Laboratory, Army Public Health Center, Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrias","family":"Hojgaard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Vector-Borne Diseases, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Fort Collins, CO"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6492-0901","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Erika T","family":"Machtinger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Entomology, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4695-059X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jennifer M","family":"Mullinax","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"AGNR-Environmental Science and Technology, University of Maryland, College Park, MD"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8346-5780","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrew Y","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Invasive Insect Biocontrol and Behavior Laboratory, USDA, ARS, BARC-West, Beltsville, MD"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021051508395301500_CIT0001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1879","DOI":"10.1128\/JCM.43.4.1879-1884.2005","article-title":"Borrelia burgdorferi ospC heterogeneity among human and murine isolates from a defined region of northern Maryland and southern Pennsylvania: lack of correlation with invasive and noninvasive genotypes","volume":"43","author":"Alghaferi","year":"2005","journal-title":"J.
