Seven species of parasitic arthropods (one sucking louse, one bot, 2 fleas, one tick, and 2 mites) were recovered from 81 white-footed mice, Peromyscus leucopus, live-trapped on the grounds of the McClintic Wildlife Station, Mason County, WV, from March through November 1990. The most commonly collected arthropods were the fleas Orchopeas leucopus (89 specimens) and Epitedia wenmanni (23), and the tick Dermacentor variabilis (38). Sex ratios for both flea species were female biased; 1.8:1.0 for O. leucopus and 1.6:1.0 for E. wenmanni.
1990年3月至11月期间,在西弗吉尼亚州梅森县麦克林蒂克野生动物站的场地上,通过活捉捕获了81只白足鼠(白足鼠属),从这些白足鼠身上发现了7种寄生节肢动物(1种吸血虱、1种马胃蝇蛆、2种跳蚤、1种蜱和2种螨)。最常采集到的节肢动物是跳蚤白足奥尔科蚤(89个标本)和温氏埃皮蚤(23个),以及蜱变异革蜱(38个)。两种跳蚤的性别比均偏向雌性;白足奥尔科蚤为1.8:1.0,温氏埃皮蚤为1.6:1.0。
