Abstract
The use of a combination of surveillance methods is the most effective way of assessing Lyme disease risk in an area where risk is unknown. Significant environmental determinants can be identified using a GIS, and a risk map can be generated to detect unknown endemic areas and to predict where new foci may develop.
