DOI: 10.1016/j.idm.2020.10.004
Abstract: Two models were developed to estimate Lyme borreliosis (LB) cases. One was based on the seroprevalence of Borrelia infections in human samples. This model used corrections for false negative and false positive results from published… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ttbdis.2018.04.016
Abstract: An increasing number of studies have investigated the consequences of biodiversity loss for the occurrence of vector-borne diseases such as Lyme borreliosis, the most common tick-borne disease in the northern hemisphere. As host species differ… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2022.2420
Abstract: Climate change has had a major impact on seasonal weather patterns, resulting in marked phenological changes in a wide range of taxa. However, empirical studies of how changes in seasonality impact the emergence and seasonal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/cmr.00074-22
Abstract: Lyme borreliosis is caused by spirochetes belonging to the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato group, which are transmitted by Ixodes tick species living in the temperate climate zones of the Northern Hemisphere. The clinical manifestations of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.00510-22
Abstract: Serology plays an important role in the diagnosis of Lyme borreliosis. Guidelines prescribe a two-tier testing algorithm in which a highly sensitive screening assay is used for screening and reactive sera are retested with an… read more here.

DOI: 10.1504/ijgw.2019.10021851
Abstract: Global climate change is predicted to affect both the spatial and annual distributions of vector-borne diseases. Tick-borne diseases are particularly sensitive to the changing climatic conditions. Modelling them is, however, challenging due to the input-intensity… read more here.
