莱姆病，20年前在美国并不为人所知，现在是该国最常见的节肢动物传播疾病，并在一些郊区和农村地区造成了相当大的发病率。这种疾病的出现部分是美国东北部重新造林和鹿数量增加的结果。不幸的是，由于诊断困难和监测活动不足，未能准确估计其对人类和动物健康的重要性。预防莱姆病的战略包括病媒控制和疫苗。
Lyme disease, unknown in the United States two decades ago, is now the most common arthropod-borne disease in the country and has caused considerable morbidity in several suburban and rural areas. The emergence of this disease is in part the consequence of the reforestation of the northeastern United States and the rise in deer populations. Unfortunately, an accurate estimation of its importance to human and animal health has not been made because of difficulties in diagnosis and inadequate surveillance activities. Strategies for prevention of Lyme disease include vector control and vaccines.
