Just curious, how long will a tick remain on a host after the host has died? I am assuming that it is until it has had its full blood meal, but what if the death of the host renders the blood less appetizing? I am wondering about if it was the cold temps or the fact that all of the samples collected had been dead for a significant period of time, that there were no ticks present. Also, how do you plan on collecting ticks from the coyotes in the warmer months?

I shared. :)
