Tick context for Alaska

Compare all U.S. regions

Alaska requires separate treatment from the contiguous United States. CDC distribution maps note that naturally occurring populations of the major ticks shown on its contiguous-U.S. maps do not occur in Alaska, while Alaska health officials continue surveillance and emphasize travel and pet pathways.

Important distinction: a species being reported in a region does not prove that it is present on a specific property or carrying a pathogen there. Identification, exposure history, and current county or state surveillance matter.

Ticks to distinguish

Travel- or pet-associated ticks
Ticks may be brought into Alaska on people, pets, or equipment after travel.
Locally collected ticks
Identification and surveillance matter because detection does not automatically establish a reproducing local population.

Seasonal planning

Use Alaska Department of Health guidance and current surveillance rather than a lower-48 seasonal calendar.

Where to inspect first

  • Pets and gear returning from travel
  • Outdoor areas where ticks are reported or collected
  • Wildlife contact areas

Property action checklist

  1. 1Check pets, clothing, and luggage after travel
  2. 2Save an intact specimen for identification when practical
  3. 3Tell a healthcare provider where exposure may have occurred
