Tick development on sexually-active bull moose is more advanced compared to that of cow moose in the winter tick, Dermacentor albipictus [PDF]

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2019
We performed a complete survey of ticks on 100 cm2 skin samples collected from 30 moose (Alces alces) harvested in 2017 in central and northern Maine, U.S.A.

Apparent fatal winter tick (Dermacentor albipictus) infestation in captive reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) [PDF]

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife
The winter tick, Dermacentor albipictus (Ixodidae), commonly infests a wide variety of wild and domestic ungulates throughout North America. This one-host-tick infests animals from October to April, with moose (Alces alces) particularly affected. Animals

Vertical transmission of the entomopathogenic soil fungus Scopulariopsis brevicaulis as a contaminant of eggs in the winter tick, Dermacentor albipictus, collected from calf moose (New Hampshire, USA) [PDF]

Mycology, 2019
Moose naturally acquire soil fungi on their fur that are entomopathogenic to the winter tick, Dermacentor albipictus. Presumed to provide a measure of on-host tick control, it is unknown whether these soil fungi impact subsequent off-host stages of the ...

Winter temperature affects the prevalence of ticks in an Arctic seabird. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The Arctic is rapidly warming and host-parasite relationships may be modified by such environmental changes. Here, I showed that the average winter temperature in Svalbard, Arctic Norway, explained almost 90% of the average prevalence of ticks in an ...

Winter tick sharing between ungulates in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and implications for apparent competition

Ecosphere
Host species heterogeneity can drive parasite dynamics through variation in host competency as well as host abundance. We explored how elk (Cervus canadensis) with apparent subclinical infestations of winter tick (Dermacentor albipictus) may be a cryptic

Pathogen diversity of the neglected winter tick Alloceraea inermis in Hungary [PDF]

Curr Res Parasitol Vector Borne Dis
Ticks are important vectors of pathogens affecting human and animal health, making the identification of tick-borne agents essential. This study focused on the understudied winter tick, Alloceraea inermis (formerly Haemaphysalis inermis), which is widely distributed across Eurasia, and in some regions its occurrence appears to be increasing.

Sudden Mortality in Captive White-Tailed Deer With Atypical Infestation of Winter Tick

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2021
Abstract In October 2020, three captive male white-tailed deer, Odocoileus virginianus [Zimmermann] (artiodactyla: Cervidae), were found dead in central Pennsylvania and a fourth was euthanized due to extreme lethargy. The deer presented with high burdens of Dermacentor albipictus (Packard) (Ixoda: Ixodidae) (winter tick).
