莱姆病的流行重点是新泽西州蒙茅斯县的柯尔特颈镇、豪威尔镇、弗里霍尔德镇和沃尔镇。该地区从1978年至1982年曾发生过莱姆病病例。1978年至1982年新泽西州感染莱姆病的117人中，有57人（49%）在这四个乡镇生活或工作，其人口82,491人，仅占全州人口的1.1%。厄尔海军武器站位于柯尔特颈镇和豪厄尔镇，有 30 名感染莱姆病的人接触过蜱虫。 1981年和1982年驻扎或在该军事设施工作的人员的年发病率约为1%。在厄尔海军武器站，1981 年至 1982 年期间在户外工作的人员比在室内工作的人员面临更高的风险。
An endemic focus of Lyme disease is present in Colt's Neck, Howell, Freehold, and Wall Townships in Monmouth County, New Jersey. Cases of Lyme disease have occurred in this area from 1978 to 1982. Fifty-seven of the 117 persons (49%) who acquired their infection in New Jersey from 1978 to 1982 live or work in these four townships, whose population of 82,491 is only 1.1% of the population of the entire state. Thirty persons who contracted Lyme disease were exposed to ticks at the Naval Weapons Station, Earle, which is located within Colt's Neck and Howell Townships. The annual incidence rate for persons stationed at or working on this military facility in 1981 and 1982 was about 1%. At Naval Weapons Station, Earle, persons working outdoors in 1981-1982 were at higher risk than those working indoors.
