Abstract
Many vector-borne, zoonotic diseases pose a great risk to human, animal, and environmental health. Tick-borne diseases specifically have been on the rise as global warming influences the movement and distribution of tick hosts. The objective of this study is to investigate the role of vector density and habitat factors on infection prevalence of Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Babesia microti, and Borrelia burgdorferi within their prominent reservoir host, Peromyscus leucopus, and vector, Ixodes scupularis. This study also aims to address the interplay of these disease agents in coinfection prevalence within the reservoir and vector hosts.
