Dermacentor occidentalis Marx, 1892 - (Pacific Coast tick)
This tick is common in the coastal region of south-western U.S., with only Ixodes pacificus being more common in California. It often carries human pathogens, like various Rickettsia species, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Borrelia burgdorferi, Ehrlichia chafeensis, Francisella tularensis or the Colorado tick fever virus. Among the Rickettsia species, infections by Rickettsia rhipicephali (Paddock et al., 2018) and Rickettsia philipii (Bouquet et al., 2017) are common.
