Overall climate is more determinate of tick population and daily weather has a subtle effect on the spread of tick-borne disease. Being mindful of daily weather patterns and vigilantly avoiding exposure to ticks reduces human exposure to Lyme disease. [5] Lyme disease number of cases reported by county 2007 Peak summer weather July 2007. Warm ...
Climate change is spurring more cases of tick-borne Lyme disease. FAIR Health's recently announced third study focused on Lyme disease's notable growth in the U.S. over the past 15 years.
Richard Simon Ostfeld (born September 25, 1954) is a Distinguished Senior Scientist at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook, New York. He is best known for his work on the ecology of Lyme disease, which he began studying while monitoring the abundance of small mammals in the forests of Cary Institute property in the early 1990s.
Cary Institute's grounds have been home to long-term studies on the ecology of tick-borne disease [12] for more than 20 years. Findings underpin The Tick Project, [13] a 5-year study testing interventions with the potential to reduce Lyme disease and protect public health.
About 63,000 cases of Lyme disease were reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2022, according to a report released last month. That’s a nearly 70% jump in the number of ...
The new research is at a very early stage, but it is an important step to understanding and treating the disease, said Kim Lewis, a Lyme expert and a professor of biology at Northeastern ...
Climate change and increasing temperatures will also impact the health of wildlife animals as well. Specifically, climate change will impact wildlife disease, specifically affecting "geographic range and distribution of wildlife diseases, plant and animal phenology, wildlife host-pathogen interactions, and disease patterns in wildlife".
