The lone star tick has however been shown to be a competent vector for human monocytic ehrlichiosis (HME, from Ehrlichia chaffeensis), canine and human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (Ehrlichia ewingii), rickettsia (rickettsia amblyommii), Q-fever, tularemia (Francisella tularensis), and southern tick-associated rash illness (STARI, possibly caused by Borrelia lonestari)

Different ticks transmit different infections. This article was recently published in the Journal of Medical Entomology, which discusses the Lone Star tick, Amblyomma americanum. Prior reports had suggested that it was a competent vector for the Lyme disease spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi, but this medical review disproves the theory. The lone star tick has however been shown to be a competent vector for human monocytic ehrlichiosis (HME, from Ehrlichia chaffeensis), canine and human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (Ehrlichia ewingii), rickettsia (rickettsia amblyommii), Q-fever, tularemia (Francisella tularensis), and southern tick-associated rash illness (STARI, possibly caused by Borrelia lonestari). Prior studies have also shown that it contains filarial species (Tyler C, et al. Discovery of filarial nematode DNA in Amblyomma americanum in Northern Virginia. Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases
Volume 7, Issue 2, March 2016, Pages 315-318), and a reaction to its saliva can lead to anaphylaxis, secondary to an alpha gal allergy to red meat. Prevention is essential even when not in woods or high grasses, as this tick is more aggressive than Ixodes scapularis, and can sense a blood meal from 50 feet away, and come running to its prey.
