Summary


Examining the most common vectorborne infection in North America and the most com-mon tick-borne disease in parts of Europe, this source documents the remarkable progress in our understanding of the pathogenesis, epidemiology, etiology, and treatment of Lyme disease in Europe and the United States. Recognized authorities compare and contrast the diverse presentations of Lyme Disease around the world, and offer expert recommendations for the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of this condition in the two continents.
