TY - JOUR AU - Mead, Paul AU - Goel, Rohan AU - Kugeler, Kiersten T1 - Canine Serology as Adjunct to Human Lyme Disease Surveillance T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2011 VL - 17 IS - 9 SP - 1710 SN - 1080-6059 AB - To better define areas of human Lyme disease risk, we compared US surveillance data with published data on the seroprevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi antibodies among domestic dogs. Canine seroprevalence >5% was a sensitive but nonspecific marker of human risk, whereas seroprevalence <1% was associated with minimal risk for human infection.
