In late-July 2018, we treated 3 sites with 0.05% deltamethrin dust and 5 sites with host-fed 0.005% fipronil grain. Three non-treated sites functioned as experimental baselines. We collected ectoparasites before treatments (June-July 2018) and after treatments (August-October 2018, June-July 2019). We combed ectoparasites from live-trapped, anesthetized prairie dogs. Trapping on treated and non-treated sites occurred simultaneously or nearly simultaneously in each year.  Detected ectoparasites were counted and placed back on the prairie dogs from which they were collected to reduce a removal effect. Ectoparasites included fleas, lice, and mites.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P97IUXTJ", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.5e5826dbe4b01d50924a9545.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_5e5826dbe4b01d50924a9545", "keyword": ["Cynomys", "Flea", "Louse", "Mite", "Plague", "Prairie dog", "South Dakota", "USGS:5e5826dbe4b01d50924a9545", "United States", "Yersinia pestis", "biota"], "modified": "2021-02-22T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-102.3761, 43.6867, -101.5137, 44.0205", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Data on the effects of deltamethrin and fipronil on black-tailed prairie dog ectoparasites, South Dakota, USA, 2018\u20132019"}
