我们估计，在美国密苏里州西北部献血者的便利样本中，哈特兰病毒抗体的血清阳性率为0.9%（95% CI 0.4%-4.2%），该地区已发现人类病例和受感染的蜱虫。虽然这些发现表明过去的一些人类感染未被发现，但估计流行率很低。
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 undetected, the estimated prevalence is low.
