The epidemiology of anaplasmosis: Geographic and risk factor analyses for Illinois cattle and white-tailed deer
Abstract
dc:descriptionThree data sources were combined to examine spatial and individual risk factors for anaplasmosis, an economically significant, blood-borne infection of ruminants. A survey of 220 Illinois veterinarians identified a significantly clustered pattern of infection (p $<$.05) with two endemic clusters; in southern and in west-central Illinois. This pattern showed spatial codistribution with wooded areas, a marker for vector habitat. Temporal analysis revealed large summer and small winter outbreak peaks.
