The Keds Are Alright: Community Collection of Ticks (Ixodida: Ixodidae) and Keds (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) From Hunter-Harvested Deer

Abstract: Deer keds [Lipoptena cervi (L. 1758)] are ectoparasitic and hematophagous dipterans. Originally native to Northern Europe, L. cervi records in the United States begin in 1907 when they were found in Pennsylvania and New Hampshire. Subsequently, they have been recorded from several states and parasitize many native cervids (Artiodactyla: Cervidae) including white-tailed deer [Odocoileus virginianus (Zimmerman 1780)]. Concurrently, blacklegged ticks [Ixodes scapularis (Say 1821)], and cases of Lyme disease are i… Show more

“…If a project involves a large sample size, then postage costs of sending and returning kits may be prohibitive. For example, Evans et al [ 22 ] created collection kits which were light in materials (three microcentrifuge tubes, a pair of forceps, instructions, and datasheets) and cost approximately $3 per kit; however, the total cost of postage stamps was approximately $7.50 to send and receive the kits. Material costs may be reduced by purchasing in bulk or using less expensive alternatives, e.g., alcohol-based hand sanitizer instead of ethanol as a preservative [ 23 ].…”

“…Integrative collection techniques can be further extended outside of game check stations to deer meat processors. In states where hunting is popular but there are few-to-no check stations, animal processors can be an effective alternative for collection [ 22 , 69 , 70 , 71 , 72 , 73 ]. While deer processors can provide the animal carcasses to allow researchers to search for arthropods, this sampling often requires researchers on site to accomplish most of the ectoparasite collecting since workers at meat processors have limited time and are often busy during hunting season.…”
