T1 - Correlation between Tick Density and Pathogen Endemicity, New Hampshire T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2009 VL - 15 IS - 4 SP - 585 SN - 1080-6059 AB - To assess the endemicity of tick-borne pathogens in New Hampshire, we surveyed adult tick vectors. Pathogens were more prevalent in areas of high tick density, suggesting a correlation between tick establishment and pathogen endemicity. Infection rates in ticks correlated with disease frequency in humans.
