Northward spread of Ixodes scapularis evident over short timescale in Ontario, Canada

This data includes the results from tick dragging at 36 sites across southern, eastern and central Ontario visited once during May to October 2014 or 2015 and then revisited in 2016. The purpose of this fieldwork was to examine the spatial spread of the blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis, over a short timescale.本数据集涵盖了2014年或2015年5月至10月期间，对安大略省南部、东部及中部36个样点开展单次蜱虫拖拽采样（tick dragging）所获取的结果，所有样点均于2016年完成重访。本次野外调查的目的在于探究黑腿蜱（Ixodes scapularis）在短时间尺度内的空间扩散情况。
