莱姆病发生在美国的特定地理区域。我们提出了一种根据观察到的与预期报告的人类莱姆病病例数来定义高风险县的方法。将这一方法应用于连续时期表明，莱姆病高风险县的地理范围大幅扩大。
Lyme disease occurs in specific geographic regions of the United States. We present a method for defining high-risk counties based on observed versus expected number of reported human Lyme disease cases. Applying this method to successive periods shows substantial geographic expansion of counties at high risk for Lyme disease.
