The biological and social phenomenon of Lyme disease
Alan G. Barbour,Durland Fish +1 more
TL;DR: Lyme disease, unknown in the United States two decades ago, is now the most common arthropod-borne disease in the country and has caused considerable morbidity in several suburban and rural areas.

Journal ArticleDOI
Fundamental processes in the evolutionary ecology of Lyme borreliosis
Klaus Kurtenbach,Klára Hanincová,Jean I. Tsao,Gabriele Margos,Durland Fish,Nicholas H. Ogden +5 more
TL;DR: A biological, process-based framework for vector-borne zoonoses is developed, using Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.), the causative agent of Lyme borreliosis in humans, as an example, and explores the fundamental biological processes that operate in this zoonosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
