Tropical cattle ticks (Boophilus microplus) seeded as larvae on penned white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) completed the entire life cycle on the deer. It has long been known that the tropical cattle tick (cattle fever tick) is sometimes found on white-tailed deer. (For example see Shillinger, J. E. 1938.

Effect of deer density on tick infestation of rodents and the hazard of tick-borne encephalitis. II: Population and infection models [PDF]
International Journal for Parasitology, 2012 Tick-borne encephalitis is an emerging vector-borne zoonotic disease reported in several European and Asiatic countries with complex transmission routes that involve various vertebrate host species other than a tick vector.

A self‐medicating applicator for control of ticks on deer
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 1996Abstract. A self‐medicating applicator for killing ticks on deer and domestic ungulates by passive transfer of acaricides during feeding is described. The applicator consists of a barrel divided into a food bin (above) and a sealed self‐contained acaricide reservoir (below) with a vertical, centrally‐located ...

Management of a Deer Tick Bite
1994Lyme borreliosis is acquired following the bite of an infected Ixodes tick. Inoculation of the spirochete into a human may result in a localized rash termed erythema migrans, dissemination to distant organs through the bloodstream, or both. Because such organ involvement can be associated with severe and occasionally persistent disease, some physicians

Deer migration, deer density, tick distribution and incidence of a tick‐borne zoonosis
Journal of Animal EcologyAbstract Our understanding of how migratory wildlife populations affect incidence of infectious diseases spilling over into humans is limited. Ticks are expanding their distribution towards northern latitudes, causing emergence of tick‐borne diseases.

TICK INFESTATIONS OF WHITE-TAILED DEER IN ALABAMA
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1991Four species of ticks were collected from 537 white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), examined during the hunting seasons (November to January) of 1988-89 and 1989-90 at selected locations in Alabama (USA). Ixodes scapularis was the most common tick recovered (2,060 specimens) and infested 54% of the deer. Dermacentor albipictus was the second most

The role of seasonality in the dynamics of deer tick populations
Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 2005In this paper, we formulate a nonlinear system of difference equations that models the three-stage life cycle of the deer tick over four seasons. We study the effect of seasonality on the stability and oscillatory behavior of the tick population by comparing analytically the seasonal model with a non-seasonal one. The analysis of the models reveals the

White-Tailed Deer as Hosts of Cattle Fever-Ticks
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1970A penned study for obtaining definitive information on the status of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) as a host for cattle feverticks (Boophilus microplus) was conducted on St. Croix of the U.S. Virgin Islands. Four generations of fever-ticks were propagated on one deer during a six month period.

Treatment of Deer Tick Bites: Still an Unanswered Question
Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1994We read with interest the article by Agre and Schwartz 1 published in AJDC on the efficacy of early antibiotic treatment of deer tick bites to prevent Lyme disease (LD). We would like to comment on some aspects of this issue. The diagnosis of LD is made clinically, using supporting serologie evidence of an antibody response to Borrelia burgdorferi ...

Journal of Medical Entomology, 1992
We describe a version of the standard tick drag-flag modified for use in close-growing and tangled vegetation, as well as under ornamental shrubbery and fallen branches. Two major features of the sweep are: (1) it allows the user to remain upright with the flag parallel to the ground, thus sampling effectively beneath low and fallen branches and around
