A new study in Weekly Morbidity and Mortality Report (WMMR) describes the incidence of Lyme disease in the US from 2008-2015. It is the most commonly reported vectorborne disease in the country. Seven northeastern states continue to have the highest incidence, but neighboring states are also seeing more cases.
