I have heard it suggested that the spread of these ticks can be connected to the successful spread of wild turkeys which were reintroduced in Ontario on the north shore of Lake Erie. The vet that I heard this from said the turkeys act as a vector and are not adversely affected by the ticks, but have been spread to whitetailed deer populations much quicker then the deer could move.
