Adverse effects of Diptera flies on northern ungulates: Rangifer, Alces, and Bison
Mammal Review, Volume 52, Issue 3, Page 425-437, July 2022., 2022 Ungulates resist flies initially by morphological barriers of skin and hair, and later by physiological processes of healing and immunity. The cost of repairing skin increases with damage to the body surface, but the costs of immune response vary widely with the fly and the associated diseases.

Physiological Entomology, Volume 47, Issue 2, Page 83-95, June 2022., 2022 Bee lice attach to their host's surface using highly modified claws. The overall morphology of the tarsus produces strong attachment, with average safety factors (force per body weight) around 1130. The tarsal chain is protected with lateral stoppers against overflexion, but also allows for the fast detachment.

Bartonella spp. detection in ticks, Culicoides biting midges and wild cervids from Norway
Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 68, Issue 2, Page 941-951, March 2021., 2021 Abstract Bartonella spp. are fastidious, gram‐negative, aerobic, facultative intracellular bacteria that infect humans, and domestic and wild animals. In Norway, Bartonella spp. have been detected in cervids, mainly within the distribution area of the arthropod vector deer ked (Lipoptena cervi).

Molecular detection of Bartonella spp. in deer ked pupae, adult keds and moose blood in Finland [PDF]
, 2014 SUMMARY The deer ked (Lipoptena cervi) is a haematophagous ectoparasite of cervids that harbours haemotrophic Bartonella. A prerequisite for the vector competence of the deer ked is the vertical transmission of the pathogen from the mother to its progeny

Acute impacts of the deer ked (Lipoptena cervi) infestation on reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) behaviour [PDF]
, 2014 Blood-sucking ectoparasites have often a strong impact on the behaviour of their hosts. The annual insect harassment of reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) has increased in the southern part of the Finnish reindeer herding area because of the recent ...
