As part of a larger effort to fill this vacuum, we conducted both active and passive tick sampling in New Mexico, focusing on the southern portion of the state. We conducted active tick sampling using dragging and CO\u2082 trapping at 45 sites across Hidalgo, Do\u00f1a Ana, Otero, and Eddy counties between June 2021 to May 2022. Sampling occurred intermittently, with at least one sampling event each month from June to October 2021, pausing in winter and resuming in March through May 2022. We also conducted opportunistic, passive tick sampling in 2021 and 2022 from animals harvested by hunters or captured or collected by researchers and animals housed in animal hospitals, shelters, and farms. All pools of ticks were screened for <jats:italic>Rickettsia rickettsii<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Rickettsia parkeri<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Rickettsia amblyommatis<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Ehrlichia ewingii<\/jats:italic>, and <jats:italic>Ehrlichia chaffeensis<\/jats:italic>. Active sampling yielded no ticks. Passive sampling yielded 497 ticks comprising <jats:italic>Carios kelleyi<\/jats:italic> from pallid bats, <jats:italic>Rhipicephalus sanguineus<\/jats:italic> from dogs, mule deer, and Rocky Mountain elk, <jats:italic>Otobius megnini<\/jats:italic> from dogs, cats, horses, and Coues deer, <jats:italic>Dermacentor parumapertus<\/jats:italic> from dogs and black-tailed jackrabbits, <jats:italic>Dermacentor albipictus<\/jats:italic> from domesticated cats, mule deer and Rocky Mountain elk, and <jats:italic>Dermacentor spp<\/jats:italic>. from American black bear, Rocky Mountain elk, and mule deer. One pool of <jats:italic>D<\/jats:italic>. <jats:italic>parumapterus<\/jats:italic> from a black-tailed jackrabbit in Luna County tested positive for <jats:italic>R<\/jats:italic>. <jats:italic>parkeri<\/jats:italic>, an agent of spotted fever rickettsiosis. Additionally, a spotted fever group <jats:italic>Rickettsia<\/jats:italic> was detected in 6 of 7 <jats:italic>C<\/jats:italic>. <jats:italic>kelleyi<\/jats:italic> pools. Two ticks showed morphological abnormalities; however, these samples did not test positive for any of the target pathogens, and the cause of the abnormalities is unknown. Passive surveillance yielded five identified species of ticks from three domestic and six wild mammal species. Our findings update tick distributions and inform the public, medical, and veterinary communities of the potential tick-borne pathogens present in southern New Mexico.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0292573","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,31]],"date-time":"2024-01-31T18:27:26Z","timestamp":1706725646000},"page":"e0292573","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Science
