Colorado Tick Fever: Epidemiology
The vector of Colorado tick fever is
Dermacentor andersoni,
the Rocky Mountain wood tick found in small mammals. The virus is an RNA virus of the genus
Coltivirus
. This intraerythrocytic arbovirus is located in the Western United States at altitudes of 4,000 to 10,500 feet. Fifty-nine cases were reported between 2010-2019, but only nine states require reporting. Reporting is voluntary in other states.
