The Landscape of Lyme Borreliosis Surveillance in Europe.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: Lyme borreliosis (LB) is the most prevalent tick-borne disease in Europe and the incidence of LB is increasing owing to an expansion in tick habitats. However, LB surveillance is quite heterogeneous across the continent, and for those countries with publicly available data, it is difficult to understand the differences in incidence between countries. The objective of our study was to summarize the publicly available data from surveillance for LB in the form of surveillance reports and/or dashboards and to compare the information available for various countries. Methods: We identified publicly available LB data (online dashboards and surveillance reports) in the European Union, European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Russia, and Switzerland. Re
