Special Issue: Lyme Disease in Europe

This special issue of Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases presents 10 up-to-date reviews of the epidemiology of LB in Europe over the past 15 years, complemented by granular analyses of electronic medical record (EMR) databases and public health surveillance data (laboratory and clinical diagnoses) from multiple European countries. Collectively, this special issue aims to collect all the available epidemiological knowledge of LB in Europe, highlight the growing disease burden problem, and call attention to areas where further research and harmonization are needed to better define the epidemiology of the disease and support preventive interventions.
