Climate change raising tick threat for northern moose: officials By Zach Howard \| Reuters – CONWAY, Mass (Reuters) - Moose living in northern states such as New Hampshire and Minnesota face an increased threat from blood-feeding ticks and deer-borne parasites because of shorter winters caused by climate change, U.S. wildlife officials say. Winter ticks account for 41 percent of all deaths of the antlered animal popular with hunters and wildlife watchers in New Hampshire -- the same percentage killed there by hunting and moose-vehicle collisions, according to a study released this week by the state's Fish and Game Department. Nearly all of the calf deaths noted during the study, which began collaring and tracking moose in 2001, were caused by winter ticks, said Kristine Rines, the department's moose project leader.
