![]() Additionally, we conducted epidemiological investigations of properties near its initial detection locale in Hunterdon County, NJ, as well as a broader risk analysis for importation of ectoparasites into the area. To gain information on the origin and spread of US ALT, we (1) sequenced cox1 from ALT populations across 9 US states and (2) obtained cox1 sequences from potential source populations both by sequencing and by downloading publicly available sequences in NCBI GenBank. Subsequent investigations detected ALT infestations in 12, mostly eastern, US states. 24 Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Georgia, Athens, GA, USA.Įstablished populations of Asian longhorned ticks (ALT), Haemaphysalis longicornis, were first identified in the United States (US) in 2017 by sequencing the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (cox1) 'barcoding' locus followed by morphological confirmation.23 National Research Center for Protozoan Diseases, Obihiro University of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine, Obihiro, Japan.22 Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Environmental Biology, Columbia University, New York, NY, USA.21 Southeastern Cooperative Wildlife Disease Study, Department of Population Health, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Georgia, Athens, GA, USA.20 Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, Millbrook, NY, USA.19 TickEncounter Resource Center, University of Rhode Island, Kingston, RI, USA.18 Delaware Division of Fish & Wildlife, Newark, DE, USA.17 Force Health Protection & Preventive Medicine, MEDDAC-Korea/65th Medical Brigade, APO AP 96271-5281, USA.15 AgResearch Ltd, Hopkirk Research Institute, Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand.14 USDA Veterinary Services, Seneca Rocks, WV, USA.13 Vector and Waterborne Pathogens Research Group, College of Science, Health, Engineering and Education, Murdoch University, Murdoch, Western Australia, Australia.12 New York State Department of Health, Louis Calder Center, Fordham University, Armonk, NY, USA.11 Laboratory of Wildlife Medicine, Nippon Veterinary and Life Science University, Musashino, Japan.10 Department of Biological & Environmental Sciences, Western Connecticut State University, Danbury, CT, USA.9 Suffolk County Department of Health Services, Arthropod-Borne Disease Laboratory, Yaphank, NY, USA.8 Rutgers Center for Vector Biology, New Brunswick, NJ, USA.7 Bergen County Department of Health Services, Paramus, NJ, USA.6 Virginia Department of Health, Division of Surveillance and Investigation, Richmond, VA, USA.5 New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, Office of Vector Surveillance and Control, New York, NY, USA.4 West Virginia Department of Agriculture, Animal Health Division, Charleston, WV, USA.3 USDA APHIS Veterinary Services, Robbinsville, NJ, USA.2 Center for Vector Biology, Department of Entomology, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, New Brunswick, NJ, USA.1 Monmouth County Mosquito Control Division, Tinton Falls, NJ, USA.
