Seroprevalence of Heartland Virus Antibodies in Blood Donors, Northwestern Missouri, USA

We estimated the seroprevalence of Heartland virus antibodies to be 0.9% (95% CI 0.4%–4.2%) in a convenience sample of blood donors from northwestern Missouri, USA, where human cases and infected ticks have been identified. Although these findings suggest that some past human infections were undetec...
