The study examines the relationship between environmental changes, particularly climate change, and their potential connection to variations in tick population and activity. Additionally, it considers various other factors that might play a role in this phenomenon. These factors include human population growth, mobility, behavior, economics, and politics, all of which have been linked to differing rates of human exposure to ticks and the associated risk of tick-borne disease transmission.

There remains a problem with tick population growth and the spread of Lyme disease. The lab's goal is to study the effect of persistent prescribed burns on the prevalence of ticks over time by comparing areas and by using fusion and fire. 

Despite the absence of an aetiologic agent of LB, people experience symptoms. The causes of DSCATT may be infectious. The advantages of the integrative system biology approach are essential for understanding the complex pathobiology of TBDs.

The study addresses the need for a revised approach to TBD diagnosis and for improved communication from official public health sources regarding the wide range of associated symptoms.  

Female ticks (I. scapularis) infected with the bacterium B. burgdorferi have a higher possibility to survive winter seasons which could cause growth in the tick population. The study was conducted over three winters at Harrison Lewis Coastal Discovery Centre, where it was discovered that infected female ticks were more likely to survive the winter than uninfected female ticks.

The study addressed that certain habitats are under-investigated for tick-borne pathogens. The groups surveyed multiple sites to see patterns in tick-borne pathogens' prevalence in western black-legged ticks. The conclusions that were drawn were that there is a rise in the tick population. Also, different tick populations were found which indicates different areas have different tick types.

The review paper mentions the rise of pathogens and tick populations. As well as, factors that are causing tick distribution and tick-borne threats. 

Differences in host-seeking behavior and host-tick associations in different habitat types may associate with differences in disease risk related to the woody plant encroachment associations and restoration efforts aimed at prairies. Also, this would affect the tick population.
