The Asian longhorned tick (Haemaphysalis longicornis Neumann), native to East Asia, was first reported in the United States in 2017 and is now established in at least 17 states. Haemaphysalis longicornis feeds on birds in its range outside of the United States, and migratory birds disperse this tick and tick-borne pathogens. However, early studies in the United States did not find H. longicornis on migrating passerine birds. The transport of the parthenogenetic H. longicornis on birds has the potential to greatly expand its range. We report the first discovery of H. longicornis on migratory passerine birds in the Americas.
亚洲长角血蜱（Haemaphysalis longicornis Neumann）原产于东亚，于 2017 年首次在美国报道，目前已至少在美国 17 个州立足。亚洲长角血蜱在美国以外的地区以鸟类为食，候鸟传播这种蜱虫及其携带的病原体。然而，美国早期的研究并未在迁徙的雀形目鸟类身上发现亚洲长角血蜱。这种孤雌生殖的亚洲长角血蜱在鸟类中的传播，有可能使其分布范围大大扩大。我们报告了在美洲迁徙的雀形目鸟类身上首次发现亚洲长角血蜱。
