Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF) - by year, United States, 1966-1996

Increases in reported cases of Rocky Mountain spotted fever may reflect heightened awareness and surveillance for emerging tick-borne diseases (e.g., ehrlichiosis). Biological factors (e.g., increases in tick populations resulting from favorable environmental conditions) also could be involved in this resurgence.
