Dermacentor ticks on wildlife and new records of paralysis
The second record of paralysis of a mule deer ( Odocoileus hemionus ) by Dermacentor andersoni Stiles resulted from infesting a yearling buck with 50 pairs of ticks. A yearling doe previously infested with D. albipictus was not paralyzed by the same infestation. Spontaneous infestations of wild and...
