Insects, 2022 Sampling hides from harvested animals is commonly used for passive monitoring of ectoparasites on wildlife hosts, but often relies heavily on community engagement to obtain spatially and temporally consistent samples.

Comparative Microbiome Profiles of Sympatric Tick Species from the Far-Western United States
Insects, 2019 Insight into the composition and function of the tick microbiome has expanded considerably in recent years. Thus far, tick microbiome studies have focused on species and life stages that are responsible for transmitting disease.

A Winter Outbreak of Anaplasmosis in a Nonendemic Area of Oklahoma: A Possible Role for Dermacentor Albipictus [PDF]
Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation, 1997 Anaplasmosis is endemic in cattle in several areas of the USA, including eastern and central Oklahoma. This rickettsia-induced hemolytic disease caused by Anaplasma marginale commonly occurs during warm months when arthropod vectors, both biological (ticks) and mechanical (biting flies), are abundant.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Climate change is expected to modify host-parasite interactions which is concerning because parasites are involved in most food-web links, and parasites have important influences on the structure, productivity and stability of communities and ecosystems.

Comparison of some Molecular Markers for Tick Species Identification
Journal of Arthropod-Borne Diseases, 2019 Background: Ticks are obligate blood-sucking ectoparasites of vertebrates. Since many tick identification studies are based on the analysis of 16S rDNA, 12S rDNA and ITS-1, 2 rDNA genes, we aimed to compare the performance of these molecular markers of ...

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 The moose (Alces alces) is a charismatic species in decline across much of their southern distribution in North America. In the northeastern United States, much of the reduction has been attributed to winter tick (Dermacentor albipictus) infestations ...

Forest harvest and natural stressors compound to reduce juvenile ungulate survival
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 2, February 2026.Anthropogenic disturbances, such as forest harvest, create risky landscapes for juveniles by increasing their vulnerability to predation and hunting, and when combined with natural stressors like parasitism, likely drive population declines. Managing landscapes with a species‐centric approach that addresses the cumulative effects of human and natural ...

Veterinary Parasitology, 2023 The objective of this study was to determine whether artificial infestations of D. albipictus could be detected in cattle using near infrared reflectance spectroscopy of bovine feces (fNIRS) and if detection capability was sensitive to size of tick infestation and phase of on-host stage-specific tick development. Fecal samples were collected daily from
