摘要

To the Editor: Ixodes scapularis, the black-legged tick, is the predomi-nant vector of reportable human vec-torborne disease in the United States. It transmits agents that cause Lyme borreliosis, human anaplasmosis, and human babesiosis. I. scapularis–borne disease is becoming more frequent as this tick expands its range from tick-endemic foci in the northeastern and upper midwestern United States.Despite Michigan's proximity to large tick-endemic areas (Wisconsin and Minnesota to the west and Indiana to the south), active and passive sur-veillance data indicated that the only populations of I. scapularis estab-lished in the state before 2002 were in Menominee County in the Upper Pen-insula (1,2). However, wildlife sam-pling and tick dragging in 2002–2003 suggested that I. scapularis had begun to invade southwestern Michigan (3), with nearby populations in northwest-ern Indiana (4) as the putative source
