Individual and environmental factors associated with the seroprevalence of<i>Borrelia burgdorferi</i>in Belgian farmers and veterinarians

Abstract

Our data show that LD has to be considered as a risk for farmers and veterinarians. Rather than focusing either on ecological aspects of tick and pathogen distribution or on purely epidemiological aspects such as individual risk factors, our model highlights the role of human-environment interactions in LD risk assessment.
