Estimating the Frequency of Lyme Disease Diagnoses, United States, 2010–2018
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2021 By using commercial insurance claims data, we estimated that Lyme disease was diagnosed and treated in ≈476,000 patients in the United States annually during 2010–2018. Our results underscore the need for accurate diagnosis and improved prevention.

Comparison of Lyme Disease in the United States and Europe
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2021 Lyme disease, or Lyme borreliosis, is the most common tickborne disease in the United States and Europe. In both locations, Ixodes species ticks transmit the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato bacteria species responsible for causing the infection.

A diagnostic classifier for gene expression-based identification of early Lyme disease
Communications Medicine, 2022 Servellita et al. develop a machine learning-based classifier to diagnose Lyme disease using gene expression data. The classifier achieves high sensitivity for early infections, even prior to positivity on antibody testing.
