Evolution of northeastern and midwestern Borrelia burgdorferi, United States.

Emerging infectious diseases - 1 Jun 2010

Abstract excerpt

The per capita incidence of human Lyme disease in the northeastern United States is more than twice that in the Midwest. However, the prevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterium that causes Lyme disease, in the tick vector is nearly identical in the 2 regions. The disparity in human Lyme disease incidence may result from a disparity in the human invasiveness of the bacteria in the Northeast and Midwest...
