2014, Ticks and Tick-borne DiseasesCitation Excerpt :It was isolated from infected human blood in 1944 (Cimolai et al., 1988). The mountain wood tick, Dermacentor andersoni, is the vector of CTFV, and the prevalence of the disease is directly dependent on the seasonal activity and geographical distribution of the ticks (Meagher and Decker, 2012; Rust, 2012; Cimolai et al., 1988). As a result, CTF is mainly prevalent from May to July, and it is mostly localized in the mountainous regions of the western United States and Canada (Meagher and Decker, 2012; Rust, 2012; Cimolai et al., 1988).
