Invasive tick is 'here to stay,' and here's where it could spread next



An invasive tick species, new to the U.S., has already popped up in nine states, and a new study suggests that the species could spread much further. This tick, called the Asian longhorned tick (Haemaphysalis longicornis), is native to Asia and was first identified in the U.S. in 2017, when it was found on a sheep in New Jersey. Since then, the tick has been detected in eight other states: New York, Virginia, West Virginia, Arkansas, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Maryland, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
