Abstract: Objectives 1. To sample populations of Microtus montanus with documented occurrences of Hepatozoon sp., searching in particular for sampling sites that have the highest incidences of infection 2. To search for the vector of Hepatozoon sp. by examining the ectoparasites of Microtus montanus 3. To collect and rear ticks from Microtus montanus for use in transmission studies of Babesia microti 4. To compare the spleen histology of Microtus montanus infected with Babesia microti with uninfected voles. Findings and Status The vector of Hepatozoon sp. in Microtus montanus is a flea.
