莱姆病是一种具有急性和慢性表现的螺旋体感染。在北半球的温带和全北极地区，由蜱虫传播的莱姆病和其他感染正在增加。这些人畜共患感染最常见于郊区居民区和靠近城市的户外娱乐区。不同的地方性动物循环，包括各种大型和小型哺乳动物以及候鸟，在自然界中维持和分布导致莱姆病的疏螺旋体物种。莱姆病和其他蜱传感染病例的增加，在一定程度上是发达国家重新造林和鹿数量增加的结果。
Lyme disease is a spirochaetal infection with acute and chronic manifestations. Lyme disease and other infections transmitted by Ixodes species ticks are increasing in temperate and Holarctic regions of the Northern hemisphere. These zoonotic infections are most commonly acquired in suburban residential areas and outdoor recreation areas close to cities. Different enzootic cycles, which include a variety of large and small mammals as well as migratory birds, maintain and distribute in nature the Borrelia species that cause Lyme disease. The rise in cases of Lyme disease and the other Ixodes tick-borne infections is, in part, the consequence of reforestation and the increase in deer populations in developed countries.
