Epidemiology of Lyme disease in low-incidence states TICKS AND TICK-BORNE DISEASES Forrester, J. D., Brett, M., Matthias, J., Stanek, D., Springs, C. B., Marsden-Haug, N., Oltean, H., Baker, J. S., Kugeler, K. J., Mead, P. S., Hinckley, A. 2015; 6 (6): 721-723

Abstract

Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne disease in the U.S. Surveillance data from four states with a low-incidence of Lyme disease was evaluated. Most cases occurred after travel to high-incidence Lyme disease areas. Cases without travel-related exposure in low-incidence states differed epidemiologically; misdiagnosis may be common in these areas.
