Abstract

Ixodid ticks were present in all 189 samples examined from 53 Florida panthers (Felis concolor coryi, 104 collections) and 85 bobcats (Felis rufus floridana) in Florida (USA) between 1974 and 1991. We identified 3,251 ticks from panthers and 918 from bobcats. Specimens of Dermacentor variabilis, Ixodes scapularis, I. affinis, Amblyomma maculatum, and A. americanum were present on 49, 39, 17, seven, and two of the 53 Florida panthers, respectively, and comprised 36%, 55%, 7%, 1%, and < 1% of the 3,251 ticks collected from panthers. Ixodes scapularis, D. variabilis, and I. affinis were present on 61, 56, and 11 of the 85 bobcats respectively, and comprised 58%, 39%, and 2% of the 919 ticks collected. Amblyomma americanum and A. maculatum were found infrequently and comprised < 1% of the total ticks collected from bobcats. Only adult ticks were found on the cats, except for one D. variabilis nymph and three A. americanum nymphs that were found on bobcats.

摘要

1974年至1991年间，在美国佛罗里达州对53只佛罗里达美洲狮（Felis concolor coryi，104次采集样本）和85只短尾猫（Felis rufus floridana）进行检查的所有189份样本中均发现了硬蜱。我们从美洲狮身上鉴定出3251只蜱，从短尾猫身上鉴定出918只蜱。变异革蜱、肩突硬蜱、近缘硬蜱、斑点钝眼蜱和美洲钝眼蜱的样本分别出现在53只佛罗里达美洲狮中的49只、39只、17只、7只和2只身上，分别占从美洲狮身上采集的3251只蜱的36%、55%、7%、1%和不到1%。肩突硬蜱、变异革蜱和近缘硬蜱分别出现在85只短尾猫中的61只、56只和11只身上，分别占采集的919只蜱的58%、39%和2%。美洲钝眼蜱和斑点钝眼蜱很少被发现，占从短尾猫身上采集的蜱总数不到1%。在猫身上只发现了成年蜱，但在短尾猫身上发现了1只变异革蜱若虫和3只美洲钝眼蜱若虫。
