Parasitic Acari from Four Oklahoma Vertebrates (Aves, Mammalia), Including New State Records for Mites (Laelapidae, Listrophoridae, Macronyssidae)

Abstract

Over the last decade, our community collaborative efforts have provided several new records for mites (including chiggers), ticks, lice, and fleas parasitizing Oklahoma vertebrates (McAllister et al. 2013b, c, 2014a, b, 2015; Connior et al. 2015). To that end, we report additional ectoparasite records for a bird and three mammalian hosts from the state.
