The Asian longhorned tick is rapidly gaining a foothold in the United States and \u201cposes a serious threat to livestock\u201d according to the USDA.<\/p>\n

Since its discovery and proper identification in 2017, the coverage area of the tick has spread to 19 U.S. states, the USDA<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n

The deadly consequence of their expansion was shared by Ohio State University researchers<\/a> in the Journal of Medical Entomology: Two cows and one large bull died from exsanguination by the ticks, meaning drained of blood to the point of death.<\/p>\n

Each unfortunate cow likely endured tens of thousands of bites.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome cattle get swarmed so fast they die of exsanguination\u2014the ticks drain the cow\u2019s blood so fast they die.\u201d<\/p>\n

While only the size of a sesame seed, these tiny ticks have huge population potential, with the ability to form massive colonies in a short amount of time.<\/p>\n

While collecting samples in the twenty five acre Ohio<\/a> pasture, the Ohio State University researchers were able to collect almost 10,000 ticks in just 90 minutes.<\/p>\n

Extrapolating the collection data led the researchers to estimate the population in the entire field exceeded 1,000,000 ticks.<\/p>\n

According to researchers, no other species of tick in North America can populate like this species can.<\/p>\n

The tick\u2019s secret weapon is the ability for females to lay 2,000 eggs at a time \u2014 without the necessity of a male.<\/p>\n

Part of assessing the risk posed by these exponentially reproducing ticks includes an analysis of disease spread to both livestock and humans.<\/p>\n

According to the CDC<\/a>, the Asian longhorned tick has been found on both animals and people but, thankfully, seems to prefer animal hosts to people.<\/p>\n

The CDC also said the invasive tick is unlikely to contribute to the spread of Lyme<\/a> disease, according to one experimental study.<\/p>\n

However, these ticks have the ability to \u201ccarry and spread\u201d certain diseases, should they come in contact with them.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, there is no risk of human illness from the Asian longhorned tick in Australia and New Zealand, where the tick is invasive but has established itself as an exotic species, according to Everyday Health<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The CDC said research is ongoing as scientists try to learn more about the tick\u2019s pervasiveness and potential risk to both livestock<\/a> and people.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s possible that the Asian longhorned tick found here won\u2019t carry the same types of pathogens [or any pathogens] as it has in other parts world, but we are paying attention to it,\u201d said Mark J. Soloski, PhD, professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins Medicine.<\/p>\n

Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia have all reported the presence of the Asian longhorned tick, according to the CDC.<\/p>\n
