51只草甸田鼠共检获吸血虱1只、蚤2只、蜱1只、螨8只，共12种；1990年至1991年期间，在马里兰州弗雷德里克县德特里克堡捕获的48只白足鼠（Peromyscus leucopus, Rafinesque）中采集了9种（1只吸虱、1只蜱、3只跳蚤、1只蜱和3只螨虫）。收集最多的节肢动物为毛螨、Listrophorus mexicanus Fain（约2720只）；热带鼠螨，Ornithonyssus bacoti (Hirst) (987)；恙螨，kochi Oudemans恙螨733只，Berlese华氏恙螨322只；吸虱，Hoplopleura acanthopus (Burmeister) (121)；蜱，变异皮肤蜱（Say） （47）；恙螨，新恙螨（Neotrombicula whartoni, Ewing）（45）。节肢动物密度较低，其中记录最多的是吸虱（98只）；蚤类：Rothschild的Epitedia wenmanni（85）和Baker的Orchopeas leucopus (61)；和螨，A.华氏螨（83）。虽然有6种节肢动物寄生在这两种啮齿动物身上，但只有华氏拟合鼠和变异拟合鼠这两种节肢动物在两种宿主身上相对常见。因此，尽管两种寄主的栖息地部分重叠，但它们相关的寄生节肢动物仍然主要是寄主特有的。讨论了这些发现在媒介传播疾病传播方面的潜在意义。
Twelve species of parasitic arthropods (one sucking louse, two fleas, one tick, and eight mites) were recovered from 51 meadow voles, Microtus pennsylvanicus (Ord); whereas nine species (one sucking louse, one bot, three fleas, one tick, and three mites) were collected from 48 white-footed mice, Peromyscus leucopus (Rafinesque), live-trapped on the grounds of Fort Detrick, Frederick County, MD., during 1990 and 1991. The most commonly collected arthropods from M. pennsylvanicus were the fur mite, Listrophorus mexicanus Fain (approximately 2,720 specimens); the tropical rat mite, Ornithonyssus bacoti (Hirst) (987); the laelapid mites, Laelaps kochi Oudemans (733) and Androlaelaps fahrenholzi (Berlese (322); the sucking louse, Hoplopleura acanthopus (Burmeister) (121); the tick, Dermacentor variabilis (Say) (47); and the chigger mite, Neotrombicula whartoni (Ewing) (45). Arthropod densities were lower on P. leucopus, from which the most frequently recorded species were the sucking louse, Hoplopleura hesperomydis (Osborn) (98 specimens); the fleas, Epitedia wenmanni (Rothschild) (85) and Orchopeas leucopus (Baker) (61); and the mite, A. fahrenholzi (83). Although six species of arthropods parasitized both species of rodents, only two of these, A. fahrenholzi and D. variabilis, were relatively common on both hosts. Therefore, although the habitats of both host species partially overlap, their associated parasitic arthropods remain principally host specific. The potential significance of these findings with respect to vector-borne disease transmission is discussed.
