County map of Pennsylvania, USA, and the southeastern region (inset) showing locations of active tick surveillance, where Haemaphysalis longicornis ticks were recovered, and where Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto–positive H. longicornis ticks were found, May 1–September 6, 2019. Pennsylvania county map shows 38 counties sampled weekly and an additional 14 counties sampled opportunistically that yielded low tick recovery (Ixodes scapularis ticks only).
