Tickborne diseases/conditions can be passed to humans by the bite of infected ticks. Ticks can be infected with bacteria, viruses, or parasites. The best defense is to take steps to avoid being bitten by infected ticks.
Vectorborne Disease Data Dashboard
This dashboard uses interactive data visualizations to display vector-borne disease case data (counts and incidence rates), emergency department visits for tick-related illness, and vector-borne pathogen (germ) data in mosquitoes and ticks.
Vector-borne Disease Surveillance Reports
The Department conducts routine testing of mosquito pools and other sources of vector-borne illness. The results are published weekly during the annual peak period for vector-borne illnesses.
