As of April 2025, H. longicornis expanded to 21 eastern and midwestern states. Haemaphysalis longicornis is a cattle pest that can cause anemia and exsanguination and is a vector of the parasite Theileria orientalis Ikeda. This report describes the first detection of H. longicornis in Michigan during surveillance for host-seeking ticks of public health concern. Ticks were collected via drag sampling from May to July 2025 at Grand Mere State Park (GMSP, Berrien County), located along Lake Michigan \u223c30\u2009km north of the Indiana border. Three H. longicornis nymphs were collected 30 May, 6 June, and 11 June. After detection of the first specimen, GMSP was revisited 6 times (total drag distance = 19,920\u2009m2). Five other species were collected during surveillance for H. longicornis, including 302 specimens of the emerging Amblyomma americanum Linnaeus (lone star tick) and 1 A. maculatum Koch (Gulf Coast tick), the latter of which was not previously reported at this site or surrounding areas. One road-killed Odocoileus virginianus Zimmermann (white-tailed deer) was sampled for ticks \u223c10\u2009km south of GMSP. While no H. longicornis were detected, 13 A. americanum and 1 A. maculatum were found on this deer. Continued surveillance at GMSP and in the surrounding area is necessary to evaluate the potential distribution of H. longicornis in southwest Michigan.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jme\/tjag166","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,21]],"date-time":"2026-10-21T00:01:36Z","timestamp":1792540896000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Initial detection of\n                    <i>Haemaphysalis longicornis<\/i>\n                    (Acari: Ixodidae) in Michigan"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"63","author":[{"given":"Myles","family":"Radersma","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, Calvin University , Grand Rapids, MI,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jocelyn","family":"Nieze","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, Calvin University , Grand Rapids, MI,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Victor T","family":"Onyango","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, Calvin University , Grand Rapids, MI,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vishvapali","family":"Kobbekaduwa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services Communicable Disease Branch, Division of Public Health, , Durham, NC,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-4019-0521","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rachel","family":"Burkholder","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Michigan Department of Health and Human Services Bureau of Infectious Disease Prevention, , Lansing, MI,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emily A","family":"Pochubay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Bureau of Environment and Sustainability, , Lansing, MI,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kayla N","family":"Conner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory, Michigan State University , Lansing, MI,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Steffanie","family":"Anderson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory, Michigan State University , Lansing, MI,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amy M","family":"Wilstermann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, Calvin University , Grand Rapids, MI,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6641-7931","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jean I","family":"Tsao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Fisheries and Wildlife, Michigan State University , East Lansing, MI,","place":["USA"]},{"name":"Department of Large Animal Clinical Sciences, Michigan State University , East Lansing, MI,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9957-1211","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"William L","family":"Miller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, Calvin University , Grand Rapids, MI,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026102810370670800_tjag166-B1","author":"Appelhans","year":"2025"},{"key":"2026102810370670800_tjag166-B2","author":"Arndt","year":"2025"},{"key":"2026102810370670800_tjag166-B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1310","DOI":"10.15585\/mmwr.mm6747a3","article-title":"Multistate infestation with the exotic disease\u2013vector tick Haemaphysalis longicornis\u2013United States, August 2017\u2013September 2018","volume":"67","author":"Beard","year":"2018","journal-title":"MMWR.
