An exotic hitchhiker: A case report of importation into Connecticut from Africa of the human parasitizing tick, Hyalomma truncatum (Acari: Ixodidae)
Journal of Parasitology 104 (3), 302-305
Abstract: We report the importation into Connecticut, U.S.A., of an exotic tick, Hyalomma truncatum (Koch) (Acari: Ixodidae), on a human with recent travel history to Africa. The tick was identified using key morphological characters and through DNA sequencing. This case report highlights continuing risk associated with the importation of exotic tick vectors of medical and veterinary significance on international travelers returning to the United States from abroad.
