In October 2023, a partially engorged female Ixodes tick was removed from a dog in Bozeman, Montana, USA, that had recently spent time in eastern Montana. The tick was identified as I. scapularis according to morphologic characteristics and genomic sequencing, suggesting an expanded geographic distribution requiring continued public health surveillance.
2023年10月,在美国蒙大拿州博兹曼的一只狗身上取下了一只部分饱血的雌性肩突硬蜱,这只狗最近在蒙大拿州东部待过。根据形态特征和基因组测序,这只蜱被鉴定为肩突硬蜱,这表明其地理分布范围扩大,需要持续进行公共卫生监测。
