Seven species of hard-bodied ticks were collected from 20 species of small and medium-sized mammals in Kansas; Amblyomma americanum L., Dermacentor variabilis (Say), Haemaphysalis leporispalustris (Packard), Ixodes cookei Packard, I. kingi Bishopp, I. sculptus Neumann, and I. texanus Banks. Dermacentor variabilis was found statewide, A. americanum only in the eastern one-third of the state, and the Ixodes spp. and H. leporispalustris were widely scattered. The most common tick found was D. variabilis, both by itself and in association with other ticks. Mammals that ticks were collected from included Canis latrans Say, Cynomys ludovicianus ludovicianus (Ord), Didelphis virginianus Kerr, Geomys bursarius (Shaw), Lynx rufus (Schreber), Marmota monax bunkeri Black, Mephitis mephitis (Schreber), Microtus ochrogaster (Wagner), Mus musculus L., Peromyscus leucopus (Rafinesque), P. maniculatus (Wagner), Procyon lotor hirtus Nelson and Goldman, Reithrodontomys megalotis (Baird), Sciurus niger rufiventer Geoffroy, Sigmodon hispidus texianus (Audubon and Bachman), Sylvilagus floridanus (J. A. Allen), Taxidea taxus taxus (Schreber), and Vulpes velox velox (Say).
在堪萨斯州，从20种中小型哺乳动物身上采集到了7种硬蜱；美洲钝缘蜱、变异革蜱、野兔血蜱、库克硬蜱、金氏硬蜱、雕刻硬蜱和德克萨斯硬蜱。变异革蜱在全州范围内都有发现，美洲钝缘蜱仅在该州东部三分之一的地区被发现，硬蜱属和野兔血蜱分布较为分散。发现最常见的蜱是变异革蜱，其单独出现以及与其他蜱同时出现的情况都很常见。采集到蜱的哺乳动物包括郊狼、黑尾土拨鼠指名亚种、弗吉尼亚负鼠、囊鼠、短尾猫、东部花栗鼠、北美臭鼬、田鼠、小家鼠、白足鼠、鹿鼠、北美浣熊指名亚种、大林姬鼠、狐松鼠、硬毛棉鼠、佛罗里达棉尾兔、美洲獾指名亚种和草原狐指名亚种。
