Lyme Disease: Clinical SymptomsLyme Disease: Clinical Symptoms
• Early Lyme disease– 3 to 30 days after bite of infected tick– Erythema migrans (EM) rash (60-80%)– Fatigue, fever, headache, muscle aches, joint pain
and mild neck stiffness
• Late Lyme Disease – weeks to years after tick bite– arthritis, neurologic – cardiac (rare)
![Page 8: P. Bryon Backenson Geraldine S. Johnson Arthropod-Borne Disease Program, NYSDOH 5/2002.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e3a5503460f94b2c6fa/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Lyme Disease: Diagnosis and Lyme Disease: Diagnosis and TreatmentTreatment
• Erythema migrans rash
• Testing– Serologic antibody testing
• Screening: ELISA/EIA/IFA• Secondary: Western Blot
• Proper antibiotic treatment– Usually rapid and complete recovery,
especially when treated early

West Nile Virus Mapping Projects:West Nile Virus Mapping Projects:CONSIDERATIONS CONSIDERATIONS
1)METHODOLOGICAL: Will more precise lat/long geolocations change the maps? Initial analyses for tested birds were done with ZIP5 data.
2)METHODOLOGICAL: Can we combine this analysis with others, such as dead crow sightings, to make a better predictive model? Can other anthropomorphic features, such as infrastructure, be included?
3)INSTITUTIONAL: What is the best way to translate these data for end users? Will it support their decision making?
4)BOTH: What obstacles will be faced in making this a real-time system? To make this completely real-time, the following is needed on a real-time basis:
Satellite images Lab results, and geocoded locations on birds,
mammals, and mosquitoes. Final risk maps
