Bourbon virus transmission, New York State

In July 2019, Bourbon virus RNA was detected in an Amblyomma americanum tick removed from a resident of Long Island, New York. Tick infection and white-tailed deer ( Odocoileus virginianus ) serosurvey results demonstrate active transmission in New York, especially Suffolk County, emphasizing a need for surveillance anywhere A. americanum is reported. ### Competing Interest Statement The authors have declared no competing interest. ### Funding Statement This study was supported by cooperative agreement U01CK000509, funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and by the National Institutes of Health (R01AI142572). ### Author Declarations I confirm all relevant ethical guidelines have been followed, and any necessary IRB and/or ethics committee approvals have been obtained.
