About ticks in Arizona
Arizona’s tick risks vary across desert, mountain and residential environments. State public-health evidence identifies the brown dog tick as the primary vector associated with locally acquired Rocky Mountain spotted fever in affected Arizona communities. Rocky Mountain wood ticks have also been found in northern Arizona.

Practical awareness
Brown dog ticks can live around homes and kennels where dogs are present. Tick control on pets, environmental management and prompt removal are important. A tick encounter does not establish infection.

Using this guide
Use the linked Tick ID Centre profile for identification support and follow state or local health advice when illness follows a possible tick exposure.
