Potential Spatial Distribution of the Newly Introduced Long-horned Tick, Haemaphysalis longicornis in North America.


ABSTRACT: The North American distributional potential of the recently invaded tick, Haemaphysalis longicornis, was estimated using occurrence data from its geographic range in other parts of the world and relevant climatic data sets. Several hundred candidate models were built using a correlative maximum entropy approach, and best-fitting models were selected based on statistical significance, predictive ability, and complexity. The median of the best-fitting models indicates a broad potential distribution for this species, but restricted to three sectors-the southeastern United States, the Pacific Northwest, and central and southern Mexico.
