Moose Survival and Habitat‐Associated Risk of Endoparasites

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
We observed high rates of adult and calf moose survival in New York State, with mortality primarily due to disease associated with giant liver fluke infections. Calf mortality risk increased with increasing use of wetlands, where they can acquire giant liver fluke infections, and decreased with higher amounts of nutritional energy available.

FACTORS AFFECTING EPIZOOTICS OF WINTER TICKS AND MORTALITY OF MOOSE [PDF]

Alces, 2007
Die-offs of moose (AIces alces) associated with, or attributed to, winter ticks (Dermacentor albipictus) are widespread and have been reported since the early part of the last century.

Observations of tear‐drinking by lepidopterans on moose (Alces americanus americanus) in northeastern North America

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Lepidoptera have long been known to feed on the tears of vertebrates as a presumed source of minerals or nutrients. While this unusual behavior has been observed in a variety of species, only a single previous record has been documented outside of the tropics. Here, we present the first documentation of moths visiting the eyes of a bull moose (

INTERNAL GROSS PATHOLOGY OF MOOSE EXPERIMENTALLY INFESTED WITH WINTER TICKS

Alces, 2019
Captive moose (Alces alces) infested with 21,000 and 42,000 larval winter ticks (Dermacentor albipictus) in September-October, and unifested moose were studied to assess impact of winter ticks on moose.

Variation in prevalence and intensity of macroparasites in moose and their interactions with winter tick load in eastern Canada

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 5, September 2025.
Wild animals are infected with a large diversity and abundance of parasites that can affect their behavior, growth, body condition, and ultimately their survival. Although the adverse effects of parasites and the mechanisms involved in the interactions between a host and its parasites are generally well studied, much less is known about the additive or

Detection of Winter Tick, Dermacentor Albipictus, Infestations Using Near Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy of Bovine Feces

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

Reproduction of the winter tick, Dermacentor albipictus, under field conditions in Alberta, Canada

, 1986
Total egg production and timing of reproduction by engorged female winter ticks (Dermacentor albipictus) were studied in three habitat types (aspen forest, bog, and grassland) of central Alberta.

Weaving Indigenous and Western knowledge systems to discern drivers of mooz (moose) population decline

People and Nature, Volume 6, Issue 5, Page 1812-1821, October 2024.
Abstract Understanding and addressing biodiversity declines across the globe will require interdisciplinary practices that embrace multiple worldviews and weave knowledge systems. Here, we used a Two‐Eyed Seeing approach to weave Anishinaabe ecological knowledge with peer‐reviewed Western scientific literature to provide a comprehensive understanding ...

Phenology and habitat associations of the invasive Asian longhorned tick from Ohio, USA

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 3, Page 314-324, September 2024.
Asian longhorned tick (ALT) nymphs emerged in June, followed by adults, and concluded with larvae in fall. Potential differences in phenology were identified between Ohio and Eastern Coast US states. ALTs were detected in all habitat types including grassland, forest and edge, but not on wildlife hosts, including small‐ and medium‐sized mammals and ...

Expression, inheritance, and linkage relationships among eight enzyme genes in Dermacentor albipictus (Packard) (Acarina: Ixodidae)

, 1987
Starch gel electrophoresis was used to examine the inheritance, expression, and linkage relationships among eight enzyme genes in the winter tick, Dermacentor albipictus.
