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.
