THE ROLE OF LIZARDS IN THE ECOLOGY OF LYME DISEASE IN TWO ENDEMIC ZONES OF THE NORTHEASTERN UNITED STATES

We examined the role of lizards in the ecology of Lyme disease in New York and Maryland. We collected data on vector tick infestations, measured lizard “realized” reservoir competence for the Lyme disease spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi, and estimated lizard population density. These data were incor...
