In 1997–1998, a tick identification and Borrelia isolation study was conducted by the CDC and the Oregon Department of Human Services in Deschutes, Josephine and Jackson Counties. No ticks from Deschutes County were identified as carrying Borrelia in this study. The organism was isolated in 3% of Ixodes pacificus ticks tested.
During 2005, 24 cases were reported in Oregon.
