Abstract

Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne disease in the U.S. with more than 400,000 cases per year. This infographic summarizes NEVBD-supported research on the spread of human Lyme disease cases across U.S. counties using predictive mathematical models. Information based on the manuscript by Bisanzio et al. 2020. doi: 10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2020.0319.
