Article Abstract
We report three cases of tick-associated rash illness (TARI) in Japan that presented with erythema migrans (EM) after a tick bite. Although EM is considered to be a characteristic finding of Lyme disease, EM can occur even if patient is not affected by Lyme disease and if it is bitten by a tick. In Japan, the vector of Lyme disease pathogens are not distributed in most areas, and patients with EM are unlikely to have Lyme disease. We aim to raise TARI awareness among physicians.

Unlabelled: Ticks pose substantial threats to public health. Blacklegged ticks ( ) are responsible for most tick-borne diseases in the US, transmitting seven human pathogens. Molecular surveillance for tick-borne pathogens has been outpaced by their emergence, revealing a critical need to develop agnostic strategies that characterize emerging and putative pathogens.

The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention introduced the National Tick Surveillance Program in 2018 to better define areas of acarologic risk in response to the increasing burden of blacklegged tick (Ixodes scapularis, Acari: Ixodidae)-associated infections. The program coordinates surveillance efforts conducted by state and local public health programs and collates acarological data in the ArboNET Tick Module national database. Among the metrics collected, the density of infected host-seeking nymphs (DIN) is believed to be most closely correlated with the reported occurrence of tick-borne diseases.

Coyotes (Canis latrans) can serve as hosts for many pathogens of concern and may be useful for monitoring the prevalence and emergence of these pathogens. We collected serum and/or whole blood antemortem from 43 coyotes from South Carolina, US, and collected samples from opportunistically collected carcasses from 71 Tennessee, US and 15 South Carolina, US coyotes. We tested samples with SNAP 4Dx PLUS rapid ELISA tests for Ehrlichia spp.

Infrared thermography (IRT) is a non-invasive imaging technology that visualizes heat patterns on the surface of the body. IRT measures deviations from baseline body temperature that correspond to areas of increased peripheral perfusion. The use of IRT in Lyme disease is novel.
