They primarily infest dogs but can also parasitize other animals and humans. American dog ticks are known carriers of various diseases, including Rocky Mountain spotted fever and tularemia, which can be transmitted to their hosts through their bites. They are most active during the spring and summer months and prefer wooded areas and grassy fields. It is important to promptly remove and dispose of any attached ticks to reduce the risk of disease transmission.
