The blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis Say, is the primary vector to humans in the eastern
United States of the Lyme disease spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi, as well as causative …

This paper models the prevalence of antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi in domestic dogs in
the United States using climate, geographic, and societal factors. We then use this model to …

Lyme borreliosis is caused by multiple species of the spirochete bacteria Borrelia
burgdorferi sensu lato. The spirochetes are transmitted by ticks to vertebrate hosts, including …

Background Lyme disease is the most common reportable zoonotic infection in the United

Abstract The Lyme disease spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi causes an infection with diverse
clinical outcomes, which can include arthritis as well as cardiac and neurological …

Lyme disease has expanded into the Great Plains of the USA. To investigate local enzootic
transmission, small mammals were trapped in two forested tracts in northeastern North …
