Within-population diversity of bacterial microbiomes in winter ticks (Dermacentor albipictus)

open access: yesTicks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2020
The bacterial microbiome of ticks is notoriously diverse, but the factors leading to this diversity are poorly understood. We sequenced bacterial 16S rRNA amplicons from individual winter ticks, Dermacentor albipictus, to assess whether their one-host life cycle is associated with reduced bacterial diversity. On average, about 100 bacterial genera were

Improving Widescale Monitoring of Ectoparasite Presence in Northern Canadian Wildlife with the Aid of Citizen Science

open access: yesInsects, 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.

Revealing large‐scale parasite ranges: An integrated spatiotemporal database and multisource analysis of the winter tick

open access: yesEcosphere, 2023
Concerns that climate warming may drive the spread of ectoparasites into previously uninhabited areas have increased the need for baseline knowledge of their distributional history.

Dermacentor albipictus (Acari, Ixodidae) on Captive Reindeer and Free-ranging Woodland Caribou [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Wildlife Diseases, 1990
Infestations of winter ticks (Dermacentor albipictus) on two captive reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) are reported and may be associated with increased grooming and alopecia. Over 400,000 ticks were recovered from one reindeer. Few ticks (less than 25 ticks/animal) were found on three free-ranging woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou).

Comparative Microbiome Profiles of Sympatric Tick Species from the Far-Western United States

open access: yesInsects, 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.

Winter Tick Burdens for Moose Are Positively Associated With Warmer Summers and Higher Predation Rates

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Passive Animal Surveillance to Identify Ticks in Wisconsin, 2011–2017

open access: yesInsects, 2019
The introduction of new tick species poses a risk to human and animal health. Systematic active surveillance programs are expensive and uncommon.

Comparison of some Molecular Markers for Tick Species Identification

open access: yesJournal 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 ...
