Additional Siphonaptera Records From Small Mammals in the Central Upper Peninsula of Michigan [PDF]
, 2018 Fleas were collected from mammals during the period 1990-1992 in two upper peninsula counties. Identified specimens were compared to existing distribution records for both parasite and host. Only those records which are newly documented for county, upper

When is a parasite not a parasite? Effects of larval tick burdens on white-footed mouse survival [PDF]
, 2014 Many animal species can carry considerable burdens of ectoparasites: parasites living on the outside of a host's body. Ectoparasite infestation can decrease host survival, but the magnitude and even direction of survival effects can vary depending on the

Are all hosts created equal? Partitioning host species contributions to parasite persistence in multihost communities [PDF]
, 2015 Many parasites circulate endemically within communities of multiple host species. To understand disease persistence within these communities, it is essential to know the contribution each host species makes to parasite transmission and maintenance ...

Urban park characteristics, genetic variation, and historical demography of white-footed mouse (Peromyscus leucopus) populations in New York City [PDF]
, 2014 Severe fragmentation is a typical fate of native remnant habitats in cities, and urban wildlife with limited dispersal ability are predicted to lose genetic variation in isolated urban patches. However, little information exists on the characteristics of
