Bioenergetic Consequences of Alopecia Induced by Dermacentor albipictus (Acari: Ixodidae) on Moose
Fasting metabolic rates, respiration rates, respiratory minute volumes, and fasted weights were measured on three yearling moose (Alces alces (L.)) (Artiodactyla: Cervidae) infested with 50,000 winter ticks, Dermacentor albipictus (Packard) (Acari: Ixodidae), and on two uninfested controls.

Abstract: Larvae of winter ticks, Dermacentor albipictus (Packard), ascend vegetation in autumn and form clumps that attach to passing ungulate hosts. We tested the hypothesis that vegetation height determines the height of clumps. During the vegetation-to-ungulate transmission period (early September to mid-November), larvae were released. at the base

Molecular detection of Rickettsia felis in Dermacentor albipictus from Mississippi
Abstract Dermacentor albipictus (Packard), the winter tick, is a one-host tick often found in high numbers on horses, moose, elk, and deer in the northern United States and parts of Canada. In Mississippi, there have been very few collections of D. albipictus. Herein we report the collection and molecular screening of 5 male specimens

Growth and Development of Winter Tick, Dermacentor albipictus, on Moose, Alces alces
Journal of Parasitology, 1988Moose, Alces alces, were infested with 21,000 or 42,000 larval Dermacentor albipictus at the end of September. Larvae grew rapidly and molted to the nymphal stage 10-22 days after infestation. The nymphal stage lasted approximately 3 mo until mid-January and was characterized by a diapause.

Eight Hereford heifer calves were infested 28 times over a 64-d period with approximately 49,560 Dermacentor albipictus (Packard) larvae per calf. The fecundity of partially engorged and small, fully engorged female ticks, prematurely removed by grooming behavior of the calves, were compared.

Genetic diversity and host specificity in the winter tick - Dermacentor albipictus (Acari: Ixodidae) [PDF]
Dermacentor albipictus (Packard) is an obligate, hematophagous ectoparasite commonly found on large ungulates in North America. At high infestation levels, the winter tick is known to cause severe pathology and may transmit diseases to its hosts. Knowledge of the genetic diversity in this parasite will allow us to accurately identify the tick to ...
