OSWEGO COUNTY – The Oswego County Public Health Department received a report from the New York State Department of Health today that the tick-borne disease anaplasmosis was found in a county resident recently. This is the first such case reported in Oswego County. Anaplasmosis is caused by the bacterium ‘Anaplasma phagocytophilum’ and is primarily spread to people by the bite of an infected deer (black-legged) tick. This is one of the three most common ticks in New York state and the same tick that spreads Lyme disease. “The increased cases of Lyme disease and the first case of anaplasmosis illustrates the importance of preventing tick bites,” said Oswego County Public Health Director Jiancheng Huang. “Lyme and other tick-borne diseases are on the rise, so county residents need to be proactive and protect themselves.”
