Ticks Tick Borne Dis. 2014 Jun;5(4):432-5. doi: 10.1016/j.ttbdis.2014.02.001. Epub 2014 Mar 15.
Ticks collected from mustelids from four counties in Maine and one in New Hampshire were identified after harvest. Of the 18 fishers Martes pennanti Erxleben, two mink Neovison vison Schreber, and one long-tailed weasel Mustela frenata Lichtenstein, 589 ticks were collected and identified. They were identified as, in order of abundance, Ixodes gregsoni Lindquist, Wu, and Redner (158 larvae, 189 nymphs, four adults), Ixodes cookei Packard (99 larvae, 77 nymphs, six adults), Ixodes scapularis Say (53 adults), Dermacentor variabilis Say (two nymphs), and Ixodes angustus Neumann (one nymph). Seasonally, all but the D. variabilis were collected in winter. This study reports the first record of adult I. scapularis from a M. pennanti in the northeastern United States.
从缅因州四个县和新罕布什尔州一个县的鼬科动物身上采集的蜱虫在采集后进行了鉴定。在18只渔貂（Martes pennanti Erxleben）、2只水貂（Neovison vison Schreber）和1只长尾鼬（Mustela frenata Lichtenstein）身上，共采集并鉴定出589只蜱虫。按数量多少依次鉴定为：格雷格氏硬蜱（Ixodes gregsoni Lindquist、Wu和Redner，158只幼虫、189只若虫、4只成虫）、库克硬蜱（Ixodes cookei Packard，99只幼虫、77只若虫、6只成虫）、肩突硬蜱（Ixodes scapularis Say，53只成虫）、变异革蜱（Dermacentor variabilis Say，2只若虫）和窄体硬蜱（Ixodes angustus Neumann，1只若虫）。季节性方面，除变异革蜱外，其他蜱虫均在冬季采集到。本研究报告了美国东北部渔貂身上首次发现肩突硬蜱成虫的记录。
