New Tick Virus from the Heartland

Here is a new virus that may take the name Heartland Virus since many viruses are named after locations where they are first found. It has some nasty symptoms and as usual is transmitted easily by tick bites. Add this to the growing list of tick infections that doesn't seem to be important to the government in terms of finding cures or vaccines. Lyme is still the big daddy on the tick disease front due to its widespread distribution and long lasting effects on the neurological system.
