The objective of the investigation was to assess the tick population density and diversity, as well as identify potential tick-borne pathogens that could pose a risk to public health. During a week-long sampling period in August of 2018, a total of 6,154 ticks were collected, with the majority identified as Amblyomma americanum (L), (Acari: Ixodidae) commonly known as the lone star tick. No H. longicornis ticks were found despite the initial detection of this species in the area. This discrepancy highlights the importance of continued monitoring efforts to understand the dynamics of tick populations and their movements. The investigation also focused on pathogen detection, with ticks being pooled by species, age, and sex before being processed with various bioassays. The results revealed the presence of several tick-borne pathogens, including agents associated with ehrlichiosis (n\u2005=\u200512), tularemia (n\u2005=\u20052), and Bourbon virus (BRBV) disease (n\u2005=\u20051), as well as nonpathogenic rickettsial and anaplasmosis organisms. These findings emphasize the importance of public health messaging to raise awareness of the risks associated with exposure to tick-borne pathogens. Prevention measures, such as wearing protective clothing, using insect repellent, and conducting regular tick checks, should be emphasized to reduce the risk of tick-borne diseases. Continued surveillance efforts and research are also essential to improve our understanding of tick-borne disease epidemiology and develop effective control strategies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jme\/tjae040","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,27]],"date-time":"2024-03-27T15:53:10Z","timestamp":1711554790000},"page":"1035-1042","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Field-Collected Ticks From Benton County, Arkansas, and Prevalence of Associated Pathogens"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"61","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2039-1374","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nicholas A","family":"Panella","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Arboviral Diseases Branch, Division of Vector-Borne Infectious Diseases, US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , 3156 Rampart Road, Fort Collins, CO 80521 , USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"William L","family":"Nicholson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rickettsial Zoonoses Branch, Division of Vector-Borne Infectious Diseases, US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , Roybal Campus Building 17, Atlanta, GA 30333 , USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nicholas","family":"Komar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Arboviral Diseases Branch, Division of Vector-Borne Infectious Diseases, US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , 3156 Rampart Road, Fort Collins, CO 80521 , USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kristen L","family":"Burkhalter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Arboviral Diseases Branch, Division of Vector-Borne Infectious Diseases, US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , 3156 Rampart Road, Fort Collins, CO 80521 , USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1380-8263","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Holly R","family":"Hughes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Arboviral Diseases Branch, Division of Vector-Borne Infectious Diseases, US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , 3156 Rampart Road, Fort Collins, CO 80521 , USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David P","family":"Theuret","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UPL , 5 Laboratory Drive, Building 1, Suite 1100 Research Triangle Park, NC 27709 , USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2164-1141","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bessie H","family":"Blocher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rickettsial Zoonoses Branch, Division of Vector-Borne Infectious Diseases, US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , Roybal Campus Building 17, Atlanta, GA 30333 , USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0928-214X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christopher","family":"Sexton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bacterial Diseases Branch, Division of Vector-Borne Infectious Diseases, U.S Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , 3156 Rampart Road, Fort Collins, CO 80521 , USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Roxanne","family":"Connelly","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Arboviral Diseases Branch, Division of Vector-Borne Infectious Diseases, US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , 3156 Rampart Road, Fort Collins, CO 80521 , USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3562-9664","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Laura","family":"Rothfeldt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Arkansas Department of Health , 4815 W.
