The deer presented with high burdens of Dermacentor albipictus (Packard) (Ixoda: Ixodidae) (winter tick). There were no other clinical symptoms and deer were in otherwise good physical condition with no observed alopecia. Winter tick epizootics have been associated with mortalities of moose, Alces alces [Linnaeus] (artiodactyla: cervidae), and more recently elk, Cervus canadensis [Erxleben] (artiodactyla: cervidae), in Pennsylvania, but have not been reported in white-tailed deer. Mild winters are favorable to winter ticks and deer producers and managers should be aware of possible infestations as a result.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jme\/tjab043","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,25]],"date-time":"2021-03-25T09:58:53Z","timestamp":1616666333000},"page":"1962-1965","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Sudden Mortality in Captive White-Tailed Deer With Atypical Infestation of Winter Tick"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"58","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6492-0901","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Erika T","family":"Machtinger","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Entomology, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hayley R","family":"Springer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jessica E","family":"Brown","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Entomology, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pia U","family":"Olafson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"United States Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, Kerrville, TX"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021071701285870400_CIT0001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"670","DOI":"10.2307\/3282188","article-title":"Growth and development of winter tick, Dermacentor albipictus, on moose, Alces alces","volume":"74","author":"Addison","year":"1988","journal-title":"J.
