| Summary: | This dissertation by Peter Wilhelmsson investigates the epidemiology, ecology, and clinical aspects of Lyme borreliosis, the most prevalent tick-borne disease in the Northern Hemisphere. Focused on the transmission dynamics between humans, ticks, and Borrelia bacteria, the study analyzes temporal and spatial exposure to tick bites in Sweden and Åland Islands. It examines the prevalence of Borrelia infections in ticks, the duration of tick attachment on human hosts, and the clinical outcomes in affected individuals. The study aims to enhance understanding of these interactions to mitigate the risk of Lyme borreliosis. |
