New Jersey health officials got an unpleasant surprise when they found a
sheep infested with hundreds of ticks from an East Asian species that
can clone itself. The ticks are from the Haemaphysalis longicornis
species, an invasive pest that has been known to appear in such numbers
that they've killed cattle by draining them of blood. The researchers
are hoping that any remaining larvae died during the winter. If not, the
species could become a problem. New Jersey residents know they need to
look out for ticks.
