We present the case summary of first human recognized to have been bitten by Haemaphysalis longicornis tick in United States, which occurred New York State. Subsequent field studies confirmed that this was multiple geographic locations near patient's residence, including on manicured lawns.
Blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis Say, Acari: Ixodidae) are the most commonly encountered and medically relevant tick species in New York State (NY) have exhibited recent geographic range expansion. Forests adjacent habitat important determinants of I. density may influence tick-borne pathogen prevalence. We examined how percent forest cover, dominant land cover type, type influenced nymph adult density, associated prevalence, an inland Lyme-emergent region NY. nymphs adults were...
Abstract The Asian longhorned tick, Haemaphysalis longicornis Neumann, is a species native to eastern Asia that has recently been discovered in the United States. In its range, H. transmits pathogens cause disease humans and livestock. It currently unknown whether will act as vector Understanding seasonal activity patterns be important identifying which times of year represent greatest potential risk livestock should this become threat animal or public health. A study site was established...
The 4-Poster Tick Control Deer Feeder (4-poster) device applies acaricide to white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) and can reduce populations of the blacklegged tick (Ixodes scapularis), which transmits agents Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, babesiosis, Powassan virus disease in Northeastern United States. While 4-poster devices have potential provide community-wide management ticks endemic areas, no recent study has assessed their acceptability among residents. We conducted a survey...
The Asian longhorned tick (Haemaphysalis longicornis Neumann), native to East Asia, was first reported in the United States 2017 and is now established at least 17 states. Haemaphysalis feeds on birds its range outside of States, migratory disperse this tick-borne pathogens. However, early studies did not find H. migrating passerine birds. transport parthenogenetic has potential greatly expand range. We report discovery Americas.
Abstract The Asian longhorned tick, Haemaphysalis longicornis Neumann, is an invasive species in the United States. Since its earliest recorded presence West Virginia 2010, H. has been reported from 15 states. While public health significance States unclear, globally it transmits pathogens that infect livestock and humans, causing economic losses substantial morbidity. Management control of requires knowledge biology, ecology, distribution. Here, we address need for effective collection...
