Genetic diversity and host specificity in the winter tick - Dermacentor albipictus (Acari: Ixodidae)
DownloadFall 2012
Dermacentor albipictus (Packard) is an obligate, hematophagous ectoparasite commonly found on large ungulates in North America. At high infestation levels, the winter tick is known to cause severe pathology and may transmit diseases to its hosts. Knowledge of the genetic diversity in this...
