Samuel, W. M., Shostak, A. W., McPherson, M.
Abstract: Larvae of winter ticks, Dermacentor albipictus (Packard), ascend vegetation in autumn and form clumps that attach to passing ungulate hosts. We tested the hypothesis that vegetation height determines the height of clumps. During the vegetation-to-ungulate transmission period (early...

The survival of first-stage larvae (LI) of Parelaphostrongyluosd ocoilei and P. tenuis (Nematoda: Metastrongyloidea) and their infectivity to the snail Triodopsism ultilineata were determined experimentally in a variety of temperature and moisture conditions. Survival of larvae of P. odocoilei...
