  • Special Supplement: Lyme Disease in Europe: An Expert Panel Discussion

    This Expert Panel Discussion, sponsored by Pfizer, discusses the human health disease burden of Lyme borreliosis in Europe. This is a follow-up conversation in relation to a special issue of the journal, Lyme Disease in Europe, published in April 2023. The topic is critically important because new research shows that the disease burden in Europe is larger than is currently appreciated. Read the full Expert Panel Discussion to discover what potential steps there may be to mitigate the disease burden.

    Special Issue: Lyme Disease in Europe
    Lyme disease is a high profile, and often controversial and emotive topic in the United States and as described hereunder, Vector-borne and Zoonotic Diseases has been at the forefront for dissemination of new information.
