Rocky Mountain Wood Tick

Tick paralysis continues to be one of the most baffling and fascinating tickborne diseases in Canada. It was first reported in this country by Todd in 1912. Since then about 250 human cases, including 28 deaths, have been recorded from British Columbia. Outbreaks in cattle have affected up to 400 animals at a time, with losses in a herd as high as 65 head. Although the disease is most common in the Pacific northwest, where it is caused by the Rocky Mountain wood tick, Dermacentor andersoni Stiles, it has lately been reported as far south as Florida and has been produced by Dermacentor variabilis Say, Amblyomma maculatum Koch, and A. americanum (L.) (Gregson, 1953). The symptoms include a gradual ascending symmetrical flaccid paralysis. Apparently only man, sheep, cattle, dogs, and buffalo (one known instance) are susceptible, but even these may not necessarily be paralysed.

Depth Sounding

Time variations of the geomagnetic field observed across British Columbia at a mean latitude of 54 °N are analyzed using 'single-station' and 'paired-station' optimum transfer functions. The frequency and spatial dependence of both coastal and inland geomagnetic anomalies are estimated with the following results. (1) The normal coast effect is strongly perturbed by lateral conductivity inhomogeneities both north and south of the profile. (2) A simple, single NW–SE striking conductivity contrast between the Cordillera and plains cannot account for the total geomagnetic anomaly in the area of the Rocky Mountain Trench; a three-dimensional model is required, incorporating (i) a lateral inhomogeneity striking east–west and located to the south of the profile, (ii) the effect of induction by the vertical component of source or secondary fields.
