Ixodes damini , a Lyme disease deer tick. © Bernard Furnival/ Fran Heyl Associates Lyme on the Loose: The story of the Lyme disease epidemic Named after Old Lyme, Connecticut, Lyme disease, a bacterial infection is transmitted by the bite of the deer tickthough it took many years to figure that out. In the northeastern U.S., a particular set of biological and environmental circumstances have converged to create the perfect conditions for a Lyme disease epidemic Though deforestation is commonly linked to outbreaks of infectious disease, in the case of Lyme disease re forestation is the culprit. Farmland has reverted to small patches of forest, creating ideal habitat for deer. Deer populations have skyrocketed, and so have the ticks'. Which wouldn't be a problem, since wild animal populations are the natural reservoirs for the Lyme disease bacteria, if man weren't encroaching on their habitat-but that's exactly what's happening in many suburban areas. Combining satellite images of vegetation patterns with detailed ground maps, scientists can now pinpoint high-risk locations in New York's Westchester County with astonishing accuracy. Ironically, what appear to be ideal places to live-free-standing houses, with shady lawns next to wooded land-can place their owners at maximum risk of contracting this rarely fatal but potentially serious illness.

147. Appendix Methods Used For Creating A National Lyme Disease Risk Map The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Epidemiology Program Office (EPO), presents a map of the United States indicating four categories of risk for areas of predicted lyme disease transmission. http://www.cdc.gov/epo/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/rr4807a2.htm

June 04, 1999 / 48(RR07);21-24 Appendix Methods Used for Creating a National Lyme Disease Risk Map* INTRODUCTION Lyme disease risk is measurable as a function of two epidemiologic parameters entomologic risk and human exposure. Entomologic risk for Lyme disease is defined as the density per unit area of host-seeking nymphal ticks infected with Borrelia burgdorferi (1). Field studies needed for determination of entomologic risk require trained entomologists, and such studies are limited to a narrow seasonal window within the life-cycle of vector ticks. Limited resources preclude the direct measurement of entomologic risk over large geographic areas; therefore, indirect measures were used to estimate risk to develop this national Lyme disease risk map. First, data on vector distribution, abundance, B. burgdorferi infection prevalence, and human exposure were compiled on a county-unit scale for the United States. Then geographic information systems (GIS) technology was used to combine these data and categorize each of the 3,140 counties into four risk classes. ENTOMOLOGIC RISK Vector Distribution Vector data were obtained from a national distribution map of Ixodes scapularis and I. pacificus, which was previously published by CDC (2). These data delineate three classes of tick distribution based on all published and unpublished county collection records available to CDC before 1998. The three classes are as follows:

Vetinfo Canine Encyclopedia Feline Encyclopedia VetInfo Digest ... Your Turn Encyclopedia of Canine Veterinary Medical Information Lyme Disease (Borrelia) Bacterin Lyme disease is caused by a bacterial organism, Borrelia burgdorferi . It is carried by Ixodes species of ticks and may have other tick or insect carriers. It is more common in some areas of the United States than in others. Your vet can tell you whether it is necessary to protect against this disease in your area. There is a new Lyme bacterin on the market that Rhone-Merieux has produced using recombinant gene techniques. This bacterin only uses a portion of the bacteria which the body defenses recognize and form antibodies against. Because the whole Lyme bacteria is not present, it appears that there will not be the problem of the vaccine causing symptoms of Lyme disease. In addition, this bacterin does have a validated one year duration of immunity. It is a new product and like all new products there is a period when everyone looks hard for previously unknown reactions but if "vaccination" against Lyme disease seems necessary in your area, I'd definitely use this one.

Outdoor Action Guide to Giardia, Lyme Disease and other "Post Trip" Illnesses by Rick Curtis Last Page update 8/8/97 Navigation Back to the Outdoor Action Home Page Back to the AEE Wilderness Safety Page We hope that you had an exciting and enjoyable time in the wilderness on your latest trip. After you’ve gotten a shower and washed your clothes, there are a few important pieces of information you need to be aware of. All outdoor travelers may come in contact with things during the trip that can lead to illnesses later on. Typically, the signs and symptoms of these illnesses don’t become apparent until after your trip is over, so it is important that you be able to recognize them. Should you experience some of the symptoms noted below after a wilderness trip, see your physician and describe your symptoms. Be sure to inform him or her about your backcountry trip since s/he may not initially identify the proper cause of the disease without knowing about your wilderness trip. Most of these illnesses can be treated effectively using antibiotics, as long as you go for treatment. Water-borne Infections Giardiasis: Giardiasis refers to a syndrome of diarrhea, excess gas, and abdominal cramping. It is caused by
