Description
Jamestown Canyon virus is a rare mosquito-borne orthobunyavirus that typically is asymptomatic or causes mild symptoms. However, it can rarely cause severe neuroinvasive disease [2,5]. The primary hosts include white-tailed deer, although moose, elk, and bison can also be hosts [2].
Typically, cases are seen between April and September, with a bimodal distribution peaking in spring and late summer [2].
Number of cases in the U.S. in 2024: 16 total cases, 11 neuroinvasive [1]. Number of cases in the U.S. between 2011-2023: 308, with 10 deaths, 206 neuroinvasive. One case was reported from Alpena, MI, where our patient resided [1].
