It was so great to have Jon Skare, my former PhD advisor (and WSU alum!), visit Pullman this week to speak for WSU’s Jan and Jack Creighton Global Health Lecture Series! Even got out for a Kamiak Butte hike 🤩

When challenged with Borrelia or Anaplasma, larvae fed on sensitized mice ingested more bacteria. Notably, although sex did not impact larval feeding success, it did influence pathogen load in the tick, suggesting that undefined variables between male and female mice influence transmission dynamics.
