Nearly 40% of deer ticks tested positive for Lyme disease in the largest countywide study of the parasitic arachnids ever conducted in Pennsylvania.
Among 1,000 deer ticks tested, 38.77% were found to be carrying the pathogen, according to a report released Wednesday by Pike County’s Tick Borne Diseases Task Force. They also are known as blacklegged ticks.
Batonellosis, which causes a range of diseases in humans, including cat scratch fever, trench fever and Carrion’s disease, was the second most found pathogen, carried by 18.52% of the ticks.
