TY - JOUR AU - Telford, Sam AU - Buchthal, Joanna AU - Elias, Paul T1 - Early Questing by Lone Star Tick Larvae, New York and Massachusetts, USA, 2018 T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2019 VL - 25 IS - 8 SP - 1592 SN - 1080-6059 AB - Subtropical lone star tick larvae typically emerge in late summer. We found clusters of host-seeking lone star tick larvae during early June 2018 in New York and Massachusetts, USA. Invasion and persistence of this tick in more northern locations may have been promoted by adaptation to an accelerated life cycle.
