<unk>  Tick<unk>  (CTF) (also called Mountain tick<unk> , Mountain<unk> , and American mountain<unk>  is an acute viral infection transmitted from the bite of an infected wood tick (Dermacentor andersoni). It should not be confused with the bacterial tick-borne infection, Rocky Mountain Spotted<unk> . The type species of the genus Coltivirus,<unk>  tick<unk>  virus (CTFV) infects haemopoietic cells, particularly erythrocytes, which explains the virus transmission process by bloodsucking ticks and also accounts for the incidence of transmission via blood transfusion.  The disease develops from March to September, with the highest infections occurring in May and June.    The disease is found almost exclusively in the western United States and Canada, mostly in high mountain areas such as<unk>  and Idaho. The CTFV was first isolated from human blood in 1944.
