Drag sampling was conducted during two consecutive years to estimate the abundance and the current geographic distribution of Dermacentor andersoni in southern Alberta. The abundance of adult ticks differed significantly between both years at a number of localities. In addition, our results suggest that the range of D. andersoni may have contracted, when compared to previously published records.
