Small wildlife species host flea and tick species that can also infest or transmit pathogens to domestic animals and humans, including Anaplasma, Babesia, Bartonella, Borrelia, Ehrlichia, and Rickettsia species. Despite their zoonotic potential, little is known regarding the prevalence, diversity, and epidemiology of these pathogens. Therefore, we aimed to survey the ectoparasites found on Eastern Cottontail Rabbits (rabbits), Eastern Grey Squirrels (squirrels), and Virginia Opossums (opossums) in south-central Wisconsin, and describe the prevalence of select pathogens.

Ticks are medically important vectors of pathogens, many of which are zoonotic or impact domestic animal and/or wildlife health. Climate change, landuse modifications, and increasing interactions between domestic animals, wildlife, and humans have resulted in changes in tick-host dynamics and the emergence of novel pathogens worldwide. Therefore, describing the host and geographic ranges of vector species is essential in assessing disease risk, especially in understudied areas, and should be conducted in a One Health context.

Surveillance programs focused on bird ticks are often challenging owing to the difficulty in capturing and screening birds as well as the fact that ticks on avian hosts frequently occur at a low prevalence. Nonetheless, elucidating the diversity and host preferences of avian ticks is critical for understanding public health risks posed by both migratory and resident birds. The first nation-wide surveillance program of avian ticks was initiated to examine bird-tick interactions in Singapore, a key juncture along the East Asian-Australasian flyway.
