  • Kettle River, Minnesota
    Kettle River, Minnesota 1. The region surrounding the river: a. The Kettle River is located in east-central Minnesota. The river has its headwaters in Carlton County and flows generally north-south, passing through Pine County and into the St. Croix River. The basin has a long history of faults and glacial activity. The bedrock formations are of pre-Cambrian metamorphic and volcanic rock. This layer is covered by Cambrian sandstone and unconsolidated glacial till. Outcroppings of sandstone and pre-Cambrian lava are frequent. The area is ragged and rolling with dramatic local relief. The area has gone through a dramatic ecological change since the logging days when the white pine was the dominant vegetation. Today the region has a varied pattern of red pine, spruce, white pine, white birch maple, oak, aspen, and basswood. Major transportation lines in the area include Interstate 35 running north-south through the basin and Minnesota 23 running northeast- southwest through the basin. Minnesota 48 crosses the river east-west just east of Hinckley, Minnesota, and Minnesota Route 65 runs north-south about 25 miles west of the river. Land use in the basin is limited to agriculture and timber production. The Mhmeapolis-St. Paul area to the south supports heavy industry and manufacturing. b. Population within a 50-mile radius was estimated at 150, 700 in 1970. The Duluth, Minnesota/Superior, Wisconsin, metropolitan area lies just outside the 50-mile radius and had an additional 132, 800 persons in 1970. c. Numerous state forests are found in this part of Minnesota. They are Chengwatona State Forest, DAR State Forest, General C.

Abstract (Limit: 200 words) Analysis of genetic diversity and population differentiation determines how diverse natural populations are and how closely related they are to one another, which can provide clues concerning adaptation for restoration projects. This research analyzed the genetic diversity of three native species across their range in Minnesota. Using Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphisms, the genetic diversities of three species–prairie cordgrass (Spartina pectinata), purple prairie clover (Dalea purpurea), and spotted Joe- pye weed (Eupatorium maculatum)–were examined. The diversity for all the species had more disjunct relationships rather than displaying geographic or ecological patterns.

Isolation of the Lyme Disease Spirochete Borrelia mayonii From Naturally Infected Rodents in Minnesota Tammi L. Johnson1, Christine B. Graham, Andrias Hojgaard, Nicole E. Breuner, Sarah E.

Eisen Division of Vector-Borne Diseases, National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 3156 Rampart Rd., Fort Collins, CO 80521 Abstract Borrelia mayonii is a newly described member of the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex that is vectored by the black-legged tick (Ixodes scapularis Say) and a cause of Lyme disease in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Vertebrate reservoir hosts involved in the enzootic maintenance of B. mayonii have not yet been identified. Here, we describe the first isolation of B. mayonii from naturally infected white-footed mice (Peromyscus leucopus Rafinesque) and an American red squirrel (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus Erxleben) from Minnesota, thus implicating these species as potential reservoir hosts for this newly described spirochete. Keywords Borrelia mayonii; Ixodes scapularis; Peromyscus leucopus; Tamiasciurus hudsonicus; Lyme disease The recently described Lyme disease spirochete, Borrelia mayonii, causes human disease in Minnesota and Wisconsin, and it has been detected in naturally infected Ixodes scapularis Say ticks collected in both states (Pritt et al. 2016a, b).
