| parasitic and phoretic arthropods of sylvatic and commensal white-footed mice (peromyscus leucopus) in central tennessee, with notes on lyme disease. | sixteen species of parasitic or phoretic arthropods were collected from 56 white-footed mice, peromyscus leucopus, live-trapped in central tennessee from april through november 1987. arthropod infestation was compared for mice taken from sylvatic (woodland) versus commensal (household) habitats. three species were recorded from hosts in both habitats: the sucking louse hoplopleura hesperomydis, the flea epitedia wenmanni, and the laelapid mite androlaelaps casalis. twelve of the 13 remaining art ... | 1991 | 2010854 |
| avian and mammalian hosts for spirochete-infected ticks and insects in a lyme disease focus in connecticut. | spirochetes and their vectors and reservoirs were studied in a lyme disease focus in east haddam, connecticut, from mid-may through september 1983. ixodes dammini subadults were comparable in number on white-footed mice (peromyscus leucopus) (means = 2.9 +/- 3.6 sd) to those on 27 different species of birds (means = 2.3 +/- 4.2 sd) representing 11 families within the order passeriformes. less commonly found ticks on birds (means less than or equal to 0.1) were immature ixodes dentatus and haemap ... | 1984 | 6516460 |
| fleas (siphonaptera) of cotton mice on a georgia barrier island: a depauperate fauna. | from february 1993 through october 1994, 382 cotton mice peromyscus gossypinus were live-trapped and examined for fleas on st. catherines island, liberty county, georgia. orchopeas leucopus was the only species of flea collected, with an overall prevalence of 27% and a mean intensity of 3.8. this flea was more abundant on cotton mice during the cooler months, with peak infestation indices recorded in march 1993 and in january 1994. five species of fleas (polygenis gwyni, stenoponia americana, ct ... | 1995 | 7623192 |
| parasites of the abert's squirrel (sciurus aberti) and red squirrel (tamiasciurus hudsonicus) of new mexico. | between 1989 and 1991, 29 abert squirrels (sciurus aberti) and 45 red squirrels (tamiasciurus hudsonicus) were collected in new mexico and examined for parasites. of 29 s. aberti examined, 86.2% (25/29) were infected with at least 1 parasite species. helminths were found in 62.1% (18/29) of s. aberti; 37.9% (11/29) were infected with fleas and 37.9% (11/29) with the coccidian eimeria tamiasciuri. among t. hudsonicus, 82.5% of the squirrels examined were infected with at least 1 parasite. helmint ... | 1995 | 7707219 |
| ultrastructure of the eggs of seven flea species (siphonaptera). | eggs of seven flea species representing five families, ctenocephalides felis (bouché) (pulicidae), orchopeas leucopus (baker) and aetheca wagneri (baker) (ceratophyllidae), conorhinopsylla stanfordi stewart and epitedia faceta (rothschild) (hystrichopsyllidae), sternopsylla distincta texana (c. fox) (ischnopsyllidae), and craneopsylla minerva (rothschild) (stephanocircidae), were examined with a scanning electron microscope and are described from the resulting micrographs. in the pulicidae and c ... | 1994 | 7815392 |
| parasitic arthropods of white-footed mice at mcclintic wildlife station, west virginia. | seven species of parasitic arthropods (one sucking louse, one bot, 2 fleas, one tick, and 2 mites) were recovered from 81 white-footed mice, peromyscus leucopus, live-trapped on the grounds of the mcclintic wildlife station, mason county, wv, from march through november 1990. the most commonly collected arthropods were the fleas orchopeas leucopus (89 specimens) and epitedia wenmanni (23), and the tick dermacentor variabilis (38). sex ratios for both flea species were female biased; 1.8:1.0 for ... | 1994 | 8014620 |

| ectoparasites and other epifaunistic arthropods of sympatric cotton mice and golden mice: comparisons and implications for vector-borne zoonotic diseases. | ectoparasite and epifaunistic arthropod biodiversity and infestation parameters were compared between 2 sympatric small rodent species, the cotton mouse (peromyscus gossypinus (le conte)) and golden mouse (ochrotomys nuttalli (harlan)), in southern georgia from 1992 to 2003. because the cotton mouse is known to be a reservoir of more vector-borne zoonotic pathogens than the golden mouse, we hypothesized that it would be parasitized by more ectoparasites that are known to be vectors of these path ... | 2004 | 15715219 |
| peromyscus maniculatus, a possible reservoir host of borrelia garinii, at the gannet islands, newfoundland and labrador. | abstract thirty-five deer mice, peromyscus maniculatus, were trapped on gannet cluster 2 (gc-2), one of a group of islands numbered by convention, of the gannet island archipelago and examined for ectoparasites. one species each of acari (ixodes uriae) and siphonaptera (orchopeas leucopus) were recovered. samples of mice favored males to females (3.4:1). twenty-nine percent (10) of the mice were free of ectoparasites. males were more heavily parasitized than females when both parasites were cons ... | 2011 | 21506809 |
