A longitudinal study integrating population, care and social services data. The Swedish National study on Aging and Care (SNAC).

TL;DR: The Swedish National study on Aging and Care is expected to generate a rich data base relevant for future research on aging and care and to have a direct impact on the future Swedish system of care and services for the elderly.
Journal ArticleDOI

An Epidemiologic Study of Lyme Disease in Southern Sweden

TL;DR: Lyme disease is very common in southern Sweden, with a relatively high frequency of neurologic complications and arthritis, and the pattern of disease was similar to that reported in the United States.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sequence typing reveals extensive strain diversity of the Lyme borreliosis agents Borrelia burgdorferi in North America and Borrelia afzelii in Europe

TL;DR: It is concluded that B. burgdorferi and B. afzelii have greater genetic diversity than had previously been estimated, and that the IGS locus alone is sufficient for strain typing and phylogenetic studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Determination of Novel Borrelia Genospecies in Swedish Ixodes ricinus Ticks

TL;DR: It is concluded that all of the known human-pathogenic species (B. burgdorferi sensu stricto) and B. valaisiana found elsewhere in Europe are also present in the Swedish host-seeking tick population and that a B. miyamotoi-like Borrelia species seems to be present in I. ricinus ticks in Europe.
