The lone star tick is found in southern states as well as along the East coast up to Maine (see map below). Cases of STARI are most common in the south, although cases have been reported as far north as New Jersey. It is highly likely that cases of STARI have been mistaken for LD due to similarities in symptomology.
Amblyomma americanum (Lone Star ticks) Overview. Lone Star ticks are found mostly in woodlands with dense undergrowth and around animal resting areas. The larvae do not carry disease, but the nymphal and adult stages can transmit the pathogens causing Monocytic Ehrlichiosis, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and 'Stari' borreliosis. Lone Star ticks are notorious pests, and all stages are aggressive human biters.
