Generalized distributions of key human biting ticks in the United States These maps provide general insight into the expected distribution of common human-biting ticks in the contiguous United States. Populations of these ticks may be found outside noted areas. The maps are not meant to represent risk for tick-borne diseases. The brown dog tick, Rhipicephalus sanguineus, is found throughout the continental United States and in Hawaii. The geographic distribution of the Pacific Coast tick, Dermacentor occidentalis, has not been assessed in recent years and is not shown.
