First Canadian record and additional new state records for North American deer keds (Diptera: Hippoboscidae: Lipoptena cervi (Linnaeus) and L. mazamae Rondani)

Deer keds (Diptera: Hippoboscidae: Lipoptena Nitzsch and Neolipoptena Bequaert) are hematophagous ectoparasitic flies that primarily attack cervids and occasionally bite humans and companion animals. While a number of studies have reported half a dozen arthropod-borne pathogens in deer keds, it is unknown if they are competent vectors. In response to the increasing concern of deer keds as pathogen vectors, a recent study produced the first county-level map of deer keds in North America. Since that study was published, a number of new range records have come to light, including the first records for Canada as well as two new state/provincial, and 33 new county or provincial records for deer keds in eastern North America.

    Description
    • Deer keds (Diptera: Hippoboscidae: _Lipoptena_ Nitzsch[TO1] and _Neolipoptena_ Bequaert) are hematophagous ectoparasitic flies that primarily attack cervids and occasionally bite humans and companion animals. While a number of studies have reported half a dozen arthropod-borne pathogens in deer keds, it is unknown if they are competent vectors. In response to the increasing concern of deer keds as pathogen vectors, a recent study produced the first county-level map of deer keds in North America. Since that study was published, a number of new range records have come to light, including the first records for Canada as well as two new state/provincial, and 33 new county or provincial records for deer keds in eastern North America.
