1 New York State Department of Health Bryon Backenson, Melissa Prusinski, and Jennifer White Current Trends and Research in Vector-Borne Disease in New York State
2 Tick-Borne Diseases in NY YES Lyme disease Babesiosis Ehrlichiosis/Anaplasmosis Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever Powassan Encephalitis Borrelia miyamotoi Q-Fever (more commonly transmitted in other ways) Tularemia (tick-bite is one of several modes of transmission) NO (not yet, at least) STARI Heartland virus Bourbon virus MAYBE Meat allergy 2
3 3 Tick - talk: ~30 species of ticks are found in New York State. 10 species commonly bite humans. 4 species can potentially transmit disease (in New York) Deer tick Ixodes scapularis American Dog tick Dermacentor variabilis Lone Star tick Amblyomma americanum Woodchuck tick Ixodes cookei
4 4 American Dog tick: Rocky Mountain spotted fever & Human Monocytic Ehrlichiosis (HME) Lone Star tick: Human Monocytic Ehrlichiosis (HME) Deer tick: Lyme disease, Deer Tick Virus, Babesiosis & Human Granulocytic Anaplasmosis (HGA) Woodchuck tick: Powassan Encephalitis

103 Powassan Encephalitis 103
104 Powassan virus 104 Lineage I (POWV) Vector: woodchuck tick (Ixodes cookei) Reservoir: small mammals (squirrels, woodchucks, etc.) Woodchuck ticks are relatively difficult to encounter Woodchuck tick Ixodes cookei
105 Powassan virus 105 Lineage II (DTV) Vector: black-legged/deer tick (Ixodes scapularis) Reservoir: rodents (white-footed mice) Encounters with deer ticks are very common Deer tick Ixodes scapularis
106 NYS Powassan cases, Human cases in NYS, case most years Exceptions: 2007=6 cases, 2013=5 cases 19 cases total 14 (73.7%) were residents of the Lower Hudson Valley 15 (78.9%) were male Age range: 4-91 years 15 (78.9%) had no history of travel 5 (26.3%) died Time from onset to death varied greatly
107 Borrelia miyamotoi 107
108 Borrelia miyamotoi 108 Not reportable in NYS Newly described human pathogen Closely related to the bacteria that cause tick-borne relapsing fever Symptoms are more similar to anaplasmosis than Lyme disease Few cases reported in the literature (only 3 to date) Responded well to doxycycline
109 Borrelia miyamotoi 109 Tests are under development and not widely available Wadsworth s TBD lab -- humans Vector Ecology lab -- ticks With development of testing, could identify more cases and/or increased risk in NY
