Seasonality, Moisture, and Host Community Structure of Haemaphysalis Ticks in a Subtropical Urban Mosaic in Hong Kong, China. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We integrated field surveys, DNA barcoding and integrative taxonomy, iDNA, and ecological modeling to resolve the distributions, seasonality, and host use of Haemaphysalis ticks across Hong Kong. Moisture was indicative of adult activity, and iDNA suggested predominant feeding on wild mammals, particularly wild boar and porcupine.

Stable isotope analysis of ectoparasites as a tool for understanding trophic interactions with mammalian hosts. [PDF]

Med Vet Entomol
Ectoparasites showed significant δ15N enrichment compared to their hosts, indicating trophic enrichment, but δ13C preservation varied. Lice, fleas and ticks preserve their hosts' isotopic fingerprints to varying degrees, with lice reflecting host dietary patterns most closely, likely due to their exclusive, host‐specific feeding behaviour. The presence
