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 ...

Putative acetylcholinesterase genes from a one-host tick species, the winter tick (Dermacentor albipictus)

Parasites & Vectors
Tick control is heavily reliant on chemical acaricides; however, acaricide resistance and potentially toxic environmental effects underscore the need to develop new tick control strategies.

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.

Evaluation of acaricide treatments to experimentally reduce winter tick load on moose

Wildlife Society Bulletin
Quantifying the consequences of winter ticks (Dermacentor albipictus) on the body condition and life‐history traits of moose (Alces alces) is a challenge due to several confounding factors.

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.

Improving Widescale Monitoring of Ectoparasite Presence in Northern Canadian Wildlife with the Aid of Citizen Science

Insects, 2022
Sampling hides from harvested animals is commonly used for passive monitoring of ectoparasites on wildlife hosts, but often relies heavily on community engagement to obtain spatially and temporally consistent samples.

Revealing large‐scale parasite ranges: An integrated spatiotemporal database and multisource analysis of the winter tick

Ecosphere, 2023
Concerns that climate warming may drive the spread of ectoparasites into previously uninhabited areas have increased the need for baseline knowledge of their distributional history.

Winter Feeding of the Tick, Dermacentor andersoni, Styles [PDF]

Nature, 1935
ONE of us (J. D. G.)—recently engaged in investigating the feeding habits of ticks at the Dominion Entomological Station at Kamloops, British Columbia, with special reference to the dissemination of disease—at the end of September, 1934, brought to the zoological laboratory at the University of Alberta, Edmonton, a limited number of adults of ...
