Exposure to Ticks and their Pathogens in Northeast Missouri.
Missouri Medicine 2018 July
While the prevalence of human pathogens has been quantified in ticks in Adair County, Missouri, the prevalence of residents acquiring tick-borne diseases and seeking medical treatment has not. A public survey (n=109) revealed that 96% of respondents reported finding attached ticks on their person; of these, 38% developed symptoms post tick bite; of these, 55% reported consultation with a health care provider. Overall, 89% of practitioners surveyed had treated at least one patient for tick-borne disease. Rocky Mountain spotted fever and Lyme disease were the most common illnesses diagnosed, however, the only confirmed cases reported by Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services from 2013-2017 were ehrlichiosis. Results from these surveys indicate that exposure to ticks is common and ehrlichiosis infections are likely underdiagnosed while Rocky Mountain spotted fever and Lyme disease are likely overdiagnosed.
