Epidemiology and impact of Lyme’s disease - Royal Tropical Institute

Blah blah...<<Purpose of the study and specific objectives
This project aims to increase our understanding of the epidemiology, risks and impact of Lyme borreliosis in Europe. The spatial distribution and long term trends of Borrelia infections in humans as well as in vectors and reservoir hosts will be assessed. Identifying spatial and temporal patterns in the incidence of infections will allow us to make recommendations of improved (risk based) surveillance and an increase of public and institutional awareness of Lyme risks in those area where Borrelia is most likely to occur.>>
