First Case of Powassan Virus in Connecticut, 2022
Health officials in Connecticut are urging residents to take precautions to avoid tick bites after documenting the first case of Powassan virus disease in the state this year. A man in his 50s was diagnosed with Powassan virus in late March 2022. The man was hospitalized with central nervous system disease, but has since been released to recover at home. From 2017 to 2021, 12 cases of the virus were reported in Connecticut, including three in 2021. Of those 12 cases, two were fatal.

The Companion Animal Parasite Council (CAPC) releases an annual forecast each spring highlighting areas at risk of exposure of companion animals to vector-borne diseases in the US. These forecasts are supported by ongoing research by parasitologists and statisticians in leading academic institutions across the country. In their 2022 forecast, CAPC notes pathogens that cause heartworm disease, Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, and anaplasmosis continue to spread throughout the US. Forecasts are available on the CAPC website.

Results from Cary Institute Tick Project Published
The Tick Project, directed by Rick Ostfeld and Felicia Keesing, was a five-year study to determine if it is possible to kill enough ticks across neighborhoods to reduce the incidence of Lyme and other tick-borne disease in people and pets. Findings of this study were published this week in Emerging Infectious Diseases. The interventions evaluated in this project did not result in a significant difference in incidence of human tick-borne diseases, but did significantly reduce incidence in pets.
