	Deer Ticks
		The deer tick is found in grassy areas, open fields, and especially the margin where fields meet wooded areas.
		The white-footed mouse is the primary carrier/source of the Lyme disease bacterium.
		The risk of being bitten by a deer tick infected with Lyme disease is greatest in the summer months of June and July when the nymph stage is active.

	The Deer Tick
		Lyme disease is an illness caused by a spirochete (a corkscrew-shaped bacterium) infection.
		Deer are often present in large numbers in wooded sites and are the preferred host on which the adult ticks mate and the females acquire the necessary blood for egg development.
		Deer ticks, therefore, are often found in woodlots or wooded areas between yards, along edge habitats, and especially in unmaintained borders.

	Dealing with Deer Ticks
		Deer frequent the border between forest and lawn, generally walking on the grass with the idea of ducking into the brush if alarmed, so this is an area with a high probability of harboring ticks.
		It takes a bit of thought to interpret the bar chart for this experiment where deer were fenced out of an 18 acre plot and the density of deer ticks measured in the central area and within the area but close to the borders.
		Deer are prolific so their numbers generally increase 40% a year when measures are not taken to control their population.

	Pests: Deer Ticks Control in Wisconsin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
		Deer ticks are active from late March until early November in Wisconsin.
		The highest numbers of deer ticks are found in brushy and wooded areas with moderate understory in West central and southwest Wisconsin.
		Ticks must be in areas of high humidity in order to survive, therefore, reducing the humidity in these areas by keeping grass mowed, removing brush, and pruning trees to allow more sunlight to dry the soil will prevent ticks from becoming established.

	Olympus MIC-D: Oblique Gallery - Deer Tick
		The deer or fl-legged tick, Ioxedes scapularis, is a small parasitic arachnid about the size of a sesame seed or freckle, and has made the news for about the last decade as the carrier of the dreaded Lyme disease.
		With an increasingly mobile population and deer populations that are approaching nuisance levels in some metropolitan areas, the deer tick and its companion, the Lyme disease spirochete (Borrelia burgdorferi), have spread rapidly across North America.
		When a host is located, the deer tick grabs on to the hair or skin and uses its barbed mouthparts to sink in and secure a grip.

	Tick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ticks are ectoparasites (external parasites), living by hematophagy on the blood of mammals, birds, and occasionally reptiles and amphibians.
		Ticks are blood-sucking parasites that are often found in tall grass, where they will rest themselves at the tip of a blade so as to attach themselves to a passing animal.
		The deer (or fl-legged) tick, and the related western fl-legged tick, are the primary known transmitters of Lyme disease in the United States.

	CCE - Suffolk County: IPM for the Deer Tick
		The Deer Tick: The deer tick, Ixodes scapularis (formerly named Ixodes dammini) is the principal vector of Lyme disease in the northeastern and north central United States.
		The deer tick does not appear to be a resident of New York City, although the American dog tick (Dermacentor variabilis), the vector of Rocky Mountain spotted fever, does occur in coastal areas of the city and is common on Long Island and in downstate counties.
		Place the tick in a small container of rubbing alcohol; write the date and the location on the body where the bite occurred, as well as the geographical site, and save these in case they should be needed later for identification.

	Welcome to the World of the Deer/Bear Tick
		The common name fllegged refers to their dark legs which are in contrast to the paler body and that of deer because the preferred adult host is the white- tailed deer; in the midwest, it is called the bear tick.
		It is the pathogen-infected fllegged/deer tick nymphs, which are most active in mid-summer (May-July) and use a wide variety of hosts, that are primarily responsible for Lyme disease in humans in the northeast and midwest.
		In the west, the primary Lyme disease vector is the Pacific/western fllegged tick, lxodes pacificus Cooley and Kohis, while in the south the vector(s) is suspected to be the lone star tick, Amblyomma americanum (Linnaeus).

	Deer Tick Pictures
		Most people are not familiar with deer ticks and cannot tell a deer tick from a dog tick -- the goal here is to help in identification as well as to provide information on how to tell when a tick may be carrying Lyme disease and when it is very unlikely.
		The adult American dog ticks (Dermacenter variabilis) have light colored mottling on the back, where the mottling is on the scutum (the shield shape toward the front) in the female and covers the body on the male.
		Deer tick eggs are not commonly found accidentally and are of interest mostly to hard core tick watchers.

	Deer tick control
		Because deer ticks are primarily found in or near deciduous forests that support deer and a wide range of host animals, any residential or recreational areas near such woodlands are candidates for control measures.
		Ticks require high humidity to survive and do not do well on lawns or fields that are routinely exposed to direct sunlight.
		Because deer ticks do not move far on their own, the only ticks subsequently appearing in the treated area should be the engorged ticks transported by animals.

	American Lyme Disease Foundation
		Ticks are parasites that feed by latching on to an animal host, imbedding their mouthparts into the host's skin and sucking its blood.
		Ticks are responsible for at least ten different known diseases in humans in the U.S., including Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, babesiosis, and more recently, anaplasmosis and ehrlichiosis.
		The deer (or fl-legged) tick in the East and the related western fl-legged tick are the only known transmitters of Lyme disease in the United States.

	Deer Ticks - Tickborne Disease - Minnesota Dept. of Health
		The official common name of the deer tick is the fl-legged tick, but most still know it as the deer tick. You may also hear it called the bear tick. They are all the same tick.
		Deer ticks live for two years and have three blood meals. The life cycle begins when the female lays eggs. As the eggs mature, they develop into larvae, then nymphs, and finally adults.
		Exposure to ticks may be greatest in the woods (especially along trails) and the fringe area between the woods and border.

	Tick Encounter Resource Center - Information
		Ticks that have taken a blood meal may survive a bit longer but certainly not the 30+ days it takes to mature and bite again or lay eggs.
		Second, fl-legged (deer) ticks are the most common type of tick transmitting the Lyme disease bacterium from host to host.
		Their palps, which cover the hypostome to protect it when the tick is not feeding, fold back and prevent the tick from going any further into your skin.

	Deer and Ticks
		Tick populations of both the lone star tick and the fllegged tick, previously called the “deer tick”, continue to spread throughout much of the country.
		The deer tick is primarily found in the woods where it waits on some leaves or brush for it’s host tobrush up against it before it attaches to the host.
		The Northeast study shows that if the lone star or deer ticks can be killed on the deer at this point in their life-cycle, then 86 to 99% of these ticks could be killed over a 3 to 4 year period.

	Wireless Deer Fence-Guaranteed Deer Control
		The U.S. deer population has exploded in the last 30 years and deer damage to horticulture and agriculture has risen proportionally, amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars per year.
		Other problems associated with deer include the deer tick and the human diseases that these ticks carry, and the injuries, deaths and vehicle damage caused by deer collisions each year.
		Deer are border creatures, they like clearings surrounded by woods, and people are creating vast amounts of the perfect environment for deer with roads, power lines, agricultural activities, golf courses and the expansion of the suburbs.

	Tick Diseases
		The spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi., is transmitted by the deer (Ixodes) tick.
		Infection is generally transmitted by the nymphal stage of the tick in the spring and the adult female tick in the fall.
		Because of the risk of other disease (ehrlichia) and the potential to bring ticks into contact with humans, it is also strongly advisable to prevent tick infestation, even in dogs who are vaccinated against Lyme disease.
