Two specimens of Ixodes dentatus Marx were found in southwestern Tennessee in Shelby County during a 14-mo tick survey. This was the first record for this tick in Tennessee. An adult female was found on a dry ice trap and one larva was found on a live-trapped Peromyscus leucopus, the first time this tick has been reported from P. leucopus. This may be another combination of vector and host in the ecology and transmission of B. burgdorferi in the wild.
在田纳西州西南部谢尔比县进行的为期14个月的蜱虫调查中，发现了两只马克思硬蜱（Ixodes dentatus Marx）标本。这是该蜱虫在田纳西州的首次记录。在一个干冰诱捕器上发现了一只成年雌性蜱虫，在一只活体诱捕的白足鼠（Peromyscus leucopus）身上发现了一只幼虫，这是该蜱虫首次从白足鼠身上被报道。这可能是野生环境中伯氏疏螺旋体（Borrelia burgdorferi）生态和传播中载体与宿主的另一种组合。
