Lyme disease and conservation Lyme disease and conservation
Lyme disease is a tick-borne illness that is widespread in North America, especially in the northeastern and northcentral United States. This disease could negatively influence efforts to conserve natural populations in two ways: (1) the disease could directly affect wild animal health; and (2) tick control efforts could adversely affect natural populations and communities. Lyme disease...

Transmission risk of Lyme disease and implications for tick management Transmission risk of Lyme disease and implications for tick management
Transmission risk of Lyme disease at a site can be estimated using the probability of exposure (P1 = probability of being bitten by at least one infected tick); P1 =1 - (1 - kt)n, where n = number of tick bites per person and kt = spirochete prevalence in questing ticks. This probability is more directly related to the likelihood of acquiring Lyme disease than the standard measure of...
