How is the Colorado tick fever virus transmitted?
The CTFV is transmitted by the bite of an infected tick, primarily theRocky Mountain wood tick,andersonianimal (an animal that has the virus circulating in iReservoirs for the CTFV include ground squirrels, porcupines,chipmunks, and mice of the genusinfected, it maintains the virus transstadially (from stagegrows and molts), passing on thehuman) while it feeds during its successive life stages. Adult femaleandersonithe adults of this species most commonly come into contact with/bitepeople, anperiod of time to successfully transmit the virus. The virus is not transmissible from persontransfusion. Since CTFV can remain viable in the blood fotime following infection.
How common is Colorado tick fever?
Colorado tick fever occurs in mountainous regions (above 5,000 feet) of the western United States and southwestern Canada,including: California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oras well as southern Alberta and British Columbia. Colorado tick fever is not a nationally reportable disease, so the actualof cases that occur is unclear; however, it is thought to be underengaging in frequent or lengthy outdoor recreational activities in RockyMountain areas where the virus is known to be present during the periodwhen the tick vector,Travelers vacationing in these areas during the spring and early summer arealso at risk.
What are the symptoms of Colorado tick fever?
Symptoms of Colorado tick fever usually begin suddenly 4infection. Initialpains, severe headache, eye pain and sensitivity to light, nausea, andvomiting. Rash is infrequent. Often after a brief remission period, symptomsrecur for 2encephalitis (infection of the brain), myocarditis (inflammation of the heartmuscle), or hemorrhaging can occur. Death is rare.
How is Colorado tick fever diagnosed?
Colorado tick fever may be confused with tickas Rocky Mountain spotted fever (without the rash), tularemia, relapsingfever, and Lyme disease (without the rash). It may also be difficult to distinguish from other arthropodas St. Louis or Western equine encephalitisblood that has been inoculated into mice or cell cultures, or by detection of antibodies in the blood.
