Lone Star Tick Able to Survive Winters in the Northeast as Temperatures Rise

Other Titles

Abstract

The lone star tick is an aggressive tick species found in the Southeast and Midwest areas of the U.S. that can transmit bacteria and viruses to humans and animals. A warming climate and changing land use patterns have led to the lone star tick moving into the Northeast USA. This infographic summarizes results of NEVBD-supported research into the ability of this tick to survive harsh winters in Connecticut and Maine. Information based on the manuscript by Linske et al. 2020. HTTPS://DOI.ORG/10.3390/INSECTS11010013.
