Fifty-five moose (Alces alces) collected from 1963 to 1965 in the Chapleau Crown Game Preserve of northern Ontario were examined for ectoparasites. Dermacentor albipictus was the only parasite recovered. D. albipictus was absent from 15 moose examined during June, July and August; first observed on 1 or 2 moose examined in September; and present on all 38 moose collected from October to May. Ticks were not evenly distributed on the body. Infestations varied from 32 to 13,490 ticks/moose for 14 individuals. Levels of infestation observed did not have an obvious adverse effect on the health of the moose.
1963年至1965年期间，从安大略省北部查普尔克劳恩野生动物保护区收集了55头驼鹿，对其体外寄生虫进行了检查。白纹革蜱是唯一检出的寄生虫。在6月、7月和8月检查的15头驼鹿身上未发现白纹革蜱；9月检查的1或2头驼鹿上首次发现；10月至次年5月收集的38头驼鹿身上均有发现。蜱在驼鹿身上分布不均。14头驼鹿的蜱虫感染数量从每头32只到13490只不等。观察到的感染水平对驼鹿的健康没有明显的不利影响。
