Back to UT's Center for Wildlife Health. Mapping the national distribution of blacklegged ticks, back in 1998. The map we display on our home page is adapted from an original published by Dennis et al. (1998), which divided mainland U.S. counties into three catagories based on data available at the time on the distribution and abundance of blacklegged ticks (. In the east and Western blacklegged ticks (. Our version of the map combines the first two of the original's three catagories, which were:. Since ...
