On the Holt Research Forest in midcoastal Maine, collection of feeding ticks from live-trapped small mammal hosts allowed us to track the emergence and establishment of I. scapularis, 1989\u20132019. From 1989\u20131995, we collected only I. angustus Neumann (Ixodida: Ixodidae)(vole tick), Dermacentor variabilis Say (Ixodida: Ixodidae) (American dog tick), and I. marxi Banks (Ixodida: Ixodidae) (squirrel tick) from seven species of small mammals. The most abundant tick host was the white-footed mouse [Peromyscus leucopus Rafinesque (Rodentia:Cricetidae)] followed by the red-backed vole (Myodes gapperi Vigors (Rodentia: Cricetidae)). Emergence of I. scapularis was signaled via the appearance of subadult I. scapularis in 1996. Emergence of B. burgdorferi was signaled through its appearance in I. scapularis feeding on mice in 2005. There was a substantial increase in I. scapularis prevalence (proportion of hosts parasitized) and burdens (ticks\/host) on white-footed mice and red-backed voles in 2007. The ~11-yr time-to-establishment for I. scapularis was consistent with that seen in other studies. White-footed mice comprised 65.9% of all captures and hosted 94.1% of the total I. scapularis burden. The white-footed mouse population fluctuated interannually, but did not trend up as did I. scapularis prevalence and burdens. There were concurrent declines in I. angustus and D. variabilis. We discuss these results in the broader context of regional I. scapularis range expansion.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jme\/tjab209","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,27]],"date-time":"2021-12-27T14:23:34Z","timestamp":1640615014000},"page":"725-740","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Emergence of\n                    <i>Ixodes scapularis<\/i>\n                    (Acari: Ixodidae) in a Small Mammal Population in a Coastal Oak-Pine Forest, Maine, USA"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"59","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8103-6579","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Susan P","family":"Elias","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Maine Medical Center Research Institute, Lyme & Vector-Borne Disease Laboratory, 81 Research Drive, Scarborough, ME 04074, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jack W","family":"Witham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Research on Sustainable Forests, University of Maine, 5755 Nutting Hall, Orono, ME 04469, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elizabeth F","family":"Schneider","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Maine Medical Center Research Institute, Lyme & Vector-Borne Disease Laboratory, 81 Research Drive, Scarborough, ME 04074, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peter W","family":"Rand","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Maine Medical Center Research Institute, Lyme & Vector-Borne Disease Laboratory, 81 Research Drive, Scarborough, ME 04074, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"suffix":"Jr.","given":"Malcolm L","family":"Hunter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Conservation Biology, University of Maine, 5755 Nutting Hall, Orono, ME 04469, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Charles","family":"Lubelczyk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Maine Medical Center Research Institute, Lyme & Vector-Borne Disease Laboratory, 81 Research Drive, Scarborough, ME 04074, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"suffix":"Jr.","given":"Robert P","family":"Smith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Maine Medical Center Research Institute, Lyme & Vector-Borne Disease Laboratory, 81 Research Drive, Scarborough, ME 04074, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"2022031611061351000_CIT0001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"115","DOI":"10.1016\/j.semcdb.2016.07.002","article-title":"Infection resistance and tolerance in Peromyscus spp., natural reservoirs of microbes that are virulent for humans","volume":"61","author":"Barbour","year":"2017","journal-title":"Semin.
