Ixodes dentatus is primarily known as a rabbit tick but the larvae feed on birds and other small mammals. Ixodes dentatus has been associated with Borrelia burgdorferi the agent of Lyme disease, Anaplasma phagocytophilum an agent of human granulocytic anaplasmosis, and Babesia divergens the agent of European redwater (Anderson et al. 1996, Goethert & Telford 2003 a,b).
