(health.mil)
This study used an established spatial analysis method to determine likely high-risk areas for contracting Lyme disease from ticks ( Ixodes scapularis ) near West Point, NY. (health.mil)
Lyme disease, if not diagnosed early, can result in post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS). (health.mil)
The symptoms resulting from Lyme disease and possible PTLDS may render service members non-deployable and may result in medical separations from service. (health.mil)
Military bases in endemic areas need to increase awareness of the local Lyme disease threat and facilitate the implementation of superior tick bite prevention measures. (health.mil)

Since then, reports of Lyme disease have increased dramatically, and the disease has become an important public health problem in some areas of the United States. (cdc.gov)
Lyme disease is an infection caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, a member of the family of spirochetes, or corkscrew-shaped bacteria. (cdc.gov)
Lyme disease is spread by the bite of ticks of the genus Ixodes that are infected with Borrelia burgdorferi. (cdc.gov)
The deer (or bear) tick, Ixodes dammini, which normally feeds on the white-footed mouse, the white-tailed deer, other mammals, and birds, is responsible for transmitting Lyme disease bacteria to humans in the northeastern and north-central United States. (cdc.gov)
Research in the eastern United States has indicated that, for the most part, ticks transmit Lyme disease to humans during the nymph stage, probably because nymphs are more likely to feed on a person and are rarely noticed because of their small size (less than 2 mm). (cdc.gov)
Tick larvae are smaller than the nymphs, but they rarely carry the infection at the time of feeding and are probably not important in the transmission of Lyme disease to humans. (cdc.gov)
Although in theory Lyme disease could spread through blood transfusions or other contact with infected blood or urine, no such transmission has been documented. (cdc.gov)
There is no evidence that a person can get Lyme disease from the air, food or water, from sexual contact, or directly from wild or domestic animals. (cdc.gov)
There is no convincing evidence that Lyme disease can be transmitted by insects such as mosquitoes, flies, or fleas. (cdc.gov)
Campers, hikers, outdoor workers, and others who frequent wooded, brushy, and grassy places are commonly exposed to ticks, and this may be important in the transmission of Lyme disease in some areas. (cdc.gov)
Because new homes are often built in wooded areas, transmission of Lyme disease near homes has become an important problem in some areas of the United States. (cdc.gov)
Lyme disease has a wide distribution in northern temperate regions of the world. (cdc.gov)
For Lyme disease to exist in an area, at least three closely interrelated elements must be present in nature: the Lyme disease bacteria, ticks that can transmit them, and mammals (such as mice and deer) to provide food for the ticks in their various life stages. (cdc.gov)
