Linking weather conditions and winter tick abundance in moose [PDF]
Journal of Wildlife ManagementAbstractClimate change may modify species distribution to higher latitudes, resulting in potential changes of parasite diversity and transmission dynamics in areas where animals might not be locally adapted to these new parasite species. In addition, climate change may increase the frequency and severity of infestations of parasites that are already ...

Occurrence of Ticks and Tick-Borne Pathogens During Warm Winter—A Snapshot from Central Europe
PathogensBackground: Climate warming and anthropogenic environmental changes impact the spread of ticks and tick-borne pathogens (TBPs). This study investigated the occurrence of ticks and the risk of TBPs infection in urban and rural recreational areas in Eastern Poland at record-high temperatures in winter.

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.

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.
