Nine species of ectoparasites (4 Acari, 2 Mallophaga, 1 Anoplura, 1 Diptera, and 1 Siphonaptera) were recovered from 126 white-tailed deer collected in northern, central, and southern Mississippi. Intensity and prevalence of adults of Ixodes scapularis and larvae, nymphs, and adults of Amblyomma americanum varied significantly over collection periods, but not between host sexes. Lipoptena mazamae occurred on deer from only one study area. Although individual deer were heavily parasitized by Tricholipeurus parallelus and T. lipeuroides, their prevalence was limited. Hoplopsyllus sp., Solenopotes sp., Amblyomma maculatum, and Dermacentor albipictus had prevalences of less than 10% and were not tested for area, host sex, and seasonal effects. The potential pathogenicity of these ectoparasite species are related to white-tailed deer in Mississippi.
从密西西比州北部、中部和南部采集的126头白尾鹿身上发现了9种体外寄生虫（4种蜱螨亚纲、2种食毛目、1种虱目、1种双翅目和1种蚤目）。肩突硬蜱成虫以及美洲钝眼蜱幼虫、若虫和成虫的感染强度和感染率在采集期间有显著差异，但在宿主性别之间没有差异。马扎马唇虱仅出现在一个研究区域的鹿身上。虽然个别鹿被平行毛虱和利氏毛虱严重寄生，但它们的感染率有限。斯氏蚤属、管虱属、斑点钝眼蜱和白纹革蜱的感染率低于10%，未对其进行区域、宿主性别和季节影响的测试。这些体外寄生虫物种的潜在致病性与密西西比州的白尾鹿有关。
