Abstract：
Three Asian longhorned ticks (Haemaphysalis longicornis) were collected on Staten Island, Richmond County, New York, in 2014-2015 as part of a tick-borne disease surveillance program conducted by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and the Defense Centers of Public Health - Aberdeen Tick-Borne Disease Laboratory. These records mark the earliest known occurrence of H. longicornis in New York State outside of quarantine areas, predating previously reported detections by several years. Robust populations of H. longicornis were collected in subsequent years at the Staten Island site where these few ticks were found, demonstrating that small infestations have the potential to proliferate quickly. Haemaphysalis longicornis is a 3-host ixodid tick native to eastern Asia but now established in the United States, as well as Australasia and several Pacific islands. Although H. longicornis has not yet been associated with human disease transmission in the United States, it warrants attention as a potential vector, as it is demonstrated to harbor various pathogens of medical and veterinary interest across its native and introduced range.
摘要：
在史坦顿岛上收集了三个亚洲长角蜱（Haemphysalislongicornis），里士满县,纽约,2014-2015年，作为纽约市卫生与精神卫生部和公共卫生防御中心-阿伯丁Tick-Borne疾病实验室进行的蜱传疾病监测计划的一部分。这些记录标志着纽约州检疫区外已知最早出现的长螺旋藻，比以前报告的检测早了几年。随后几年，在史坦顿岛遗址收集了大量的长蜱虫种群，证明小的侵扰有可能迅速扩散。长尾血丝是一种3宿主的ixodid蜱，原产于东亚，但现在在美国建立，以及大洋洲和几个太平洋岛屿。尽管长螺旋体在美国尚未与人类疾病传播有关，它作为潜在的载体值得关注，因为它被证明在其本地和引入的范围内具有医学和兽医学兴趣的各种病原体。
