Predicting the Risk of Lyme Disease in the Midwestern United States: Surveillance Methods, Environmental Determinants, and Geographic Distribution
Abstract

Significant environmental determinants can be identified using a GIS, and a risk map can be generated to detect unknown endemic areas and to predict where new foci may develop.
