Prevention of lyme disease and other tick-borne infections.

Roger P Clark1, Linden T Hu.   

Abstract

Prevention is the best method for avoiding potentially serious complications of Lyme and other tick-borne diseases. In this article, we discuss preventative measures that can be used by individuals or communities. Among the topics discussed are personal protective measures, tick reduction, reservoir reduction, and vaccination. Additionally, new preventative measures that are in development-including new Lyme disease vaccines, antitick vaccines, and reservoir-targeted vaccination-are discussed.
