Adult ticks were found on 2 cats and a dog in the Charlottetown area between June and November 1989. The 3 ticks were identified as I. dammini. Serum samples from the 2 cats were examined for antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi; IFA titres were less than 1:32 in both cats. It is uncertain whether in the absence of wild white-tailed deer on Prince Edward Island, the ticks are able to complete their life-cycle..
