- Also known as the Western blacklegged tick
- Where found: Along the Pacific coast of the U.S., particularly northern California.
- Transmits: Anaplasmosis and Lyme disease.
- Comments: Nymphs often feed on lizards, as well as other small animals. As a result, rates of infection are usually low (~1%) in adults. Stages most likely to bite humans are nymphs and adult females.
