We have had requests for information about the Asian longhorned tick (Haemaphysalis longicornis) which is an invasive species that was first found in a sample of ticks collected in West Virginia in 2010 but had been misidentified as lonestar ticks. As of October 1, 2019, the Asian longhorned tick has been reported in twelve states (AR, CT, DE, KY, MD, NJ, NY, NC, PA, TN, VA, and WV). In North Carolina, this tick has been found in five counties during the last three years although each case involved one animal or one site. We now have a publication about the tick’s biology available for you to use at:
