为了确定是否丰富的北方鹿蜱，硬蜱dammini是依赖于白尾鹿，Odocoileus virginianus（Boddaert），最常寄生成年蜱的主机，我们比较了鹿和未成熟蜱的相对丰度在马萨诸塞州的13个岛屿。幼虫期的脱落。dammini连接到白足鼠，Peromyscus leucopus（Raphinesque），与密度的鹿颗粒组，是最大的岛屿上有居民鹿和最少的岛屿上的鹿的迹象很少。这种关系在蜱若虫的情况下并不成立。鹿密度可能在很大程度上决定丰富的幼虫影响成功的成年饱食和随后的繁殖。蜱若虫的分布更加分散，部分原因可能是蜱幼虫（而不是成年蜱）在岛屿之间运输的趋势，同时以鸟类为食。
To determine whether the abundance of the northern deer tick, Ixodes dammini is dependent upon that of white-tailed deer, Odocoileus virginianus (Boddaert), the host most frequently parasitized by adult ticks, we compared the relative abundance of deer and of immature ticks on 13 islands in Massachusetts. Abundance of larval I. dammini attached to white-footed mice, Peromyscus leucopus (Raphinesque), correlated with density of deer pellet groups, and was greatest on islands having resident deer and least on islands with few signs of deer. This relationship did not hold in the case of nymphal ticks. Deer density may largely determine abundance of larvae by affecting success of adult engorgement and subsequent reproduction. The more diffuse distribution of nymphal ticks may, in part, be explained by the tendency of larval (but not adult) ticks to be transported between islands while feeding on birds.
