Rocky Mountain spotted fever was first recognized in 1896 in the Snake River Valley of Idaho and was originally called black measles.It was a dreaded and frequently fatal disease that affected hundreds of people in this area.By the early 1900s, the recognized geographic distribution of this disease grew to encompass parts of the United States as far north as Washington and Montana and as far south as California, Arizon...Howard T. Ricketts was the first to establish the identity of the infectious organism that causes Rocky Mountain spotted fever.He and others characterized the basic epidemiologicalfeatures of the disease, including the role of tick vectors.Their studies found that Rocky Mountain spotted fever is caused by a tick borne, gram-negative coccobacillus that was named Rickettsia rickettsii,This species is maintained in nature by a complex cycle involving ticks and mammals; humans are considered to be accidental hosts and are not involved in the natural transmission cycle of this path...Research reawakened in 1922 in western Montana — in the Bitter Root Valley; Hamilton, Montana — after the governor's daughter and son-in-law died of the fever.Past assistant surgeon R.R.
