The first records of 3 ixodid tick species collected in the state of Maine are reported. A total of 23 records of the lone star tick, Amblyomma americanum (L., 1758), in 11 counties from hosts with no history of travel outside the state demonstrates that this tick is now a resident of Maine. Ixodes dentatus Marx, 1899 is recorded from Waldo and Lincoln counties, and Ixodes uriae White, 1852 is recorded from Matinicus Rock in Knox County. This is the first report of I. uriae from the eastern United States. Disease agents such as those causing human monocytic ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and several arboviruses have been recorded from 1 or more of these tick species.
本文报道了在缅因州采集到的3种硬蜱的首批记录。在该州11个县，共记录到23次孤星蜱（美洲钝眼蜱，Amblyomma americanum (L., 1758)）叮咬宿主的情况，这些宿主均无州外旅行史，这表明这种蜱虫现在已在缅因州定居。1899年的齿突硬蜱（Ixodes dentatus Marx）在沃尔多县和林肯县被记录到，1852年的海鸟硬蜱（Ixodes uriae White）在诺克斯县的马蒂尼库斯岩被记录到。这是美国东部首次报道海鸟硬蜱。这些蜱虫中的1种或多种曾被记录携带致病因子，如引起人类单核细胞埃立克体病、莱姆病、落基山斑疹热的病原体以及几种虫媒病毒。
