Dermacentor andersoni
Rocky Mountain Wood Tick
Dermacentor andersoni, commonly known as the Rocky Mountain wood tick, is a hard tick with 3 life stages including: larvae, nymph and adult. This tick is generally located in the NW United States and SW Canada along the Rocky Mountains. This tick is generally a vector for Colorado tick fever but can also be a vector for Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and Tularemia. During the larvae and nymph stages, the tick will not feed on humans but the adult stage will. However, the larvae and nymph forms will feed on small mammals including dogs and other wildlife. Prevention of becoming infected from the possible diseases is based on control of the vector including: wearing proper clothing when in woods/wet areas and checking oneself after returning home. The adult females can feed for up to 5–15 days, thus it is very important to remove a tick if present. Follow general tick removal tips.
