Research Proposal for Team Tick

From Goals: "In this proposal, we focus on the role of encounter mechanisms in determining why certain species of ticks are specific for certain hosts. Ticks are an excellent model system for studying host- parasite interactions because the life cycle includes both off-host and on-host stages as well as varying degrees of host specificity among different species and life-stages within some species. The overall working hypothesis is tick host preference is determined by specific adaptation of a particular tick species to behavioral and ecological characteristics of a particular host species."
