The National Veterinary Services Laboratory identified a dangerous tick species in northeast Oklahoma in early June called Asian Longhorned Tick. The same species also was identified for the first time in St. Louis County, Missouri, in late February. The tick is especially harmful to livestock and has been known to break out into an infestation on one animal, leading to livestock stress and reducing growth and production. A severe infestation on one animal can even cause the animal to die from blood loss.
