Earth Observation-Informed Risk Maps of the Lyme Disease Vector <i>Ixodes scapularis</i> in Central and Eastern Canada

Earth Observation-Informed Risk Maps of the Lyme Disease Vector <i>Ixodes scapularis</i> in Central and Eastern Canada

Climate change is facilitating the geographic range expansion of populations of the tick vector of Lyme disease <i>Ixodes scapularis</i> in Canada. Here, we characterize and map the spatio-temporal variability of environments suitable for <i>I. scapularis</i> using Earth obse...
