FIGURE 4.4

Geographic extension of Lyme disease (LD) activities. The figure shows that LD has extended to many countries around the world beyond the endemic foci. Reported LD activities that were mapped include diagnosed cases as well as infected ticks, infected animals, and seropositive human samples. The dark-gray shading signifies countries with (at least) some reported LD activity, and the presence of activity is known only at the country level. The lighter-gray shading represents areas in which LD has been reported at the subnational level in particular regions of some countries. The lightest gray represents counties with rare or unknown activity. (Courtesy of Ozdenerol, E., Int. J. Environ. Res. Publ. Health, 12(12), 15182, 2015.)
