The Lyme disease it will expand more and more in the world as the heat advances. This was revealed by a study published in the journal BMJ Global Health. Transmitted by tick bites, she can transmit a bacterium called Borrelia burgdorferi, the main cause of Lyme disease.

I study
Yan Dong of Kunming Medical University in China analyzed data from 89 studies conducted between January 1984 and December 2021. These included blood samples from a total of more than 150,000 people. The researchers then looked specifically for antibodies to B. burgdorferi in the blood, which indicate a Lyme disease infection. The results revealed that the overall disease infection rate is 14.5%. The analysis identified three regions with the highest rate of Lyme disease: Central Europe (20.7%), East Asia (15.9%) and Western Europe (13.5%). The lowest rates were in the Caribbean, South Asia and Oceania (all under 5%), while North America had an infection rate of just over 9%.
Because it spreads more and more
The review also showed that Lyme disease infections became more common over time. The increasingly hot climate, in fact, can allow ticks to spread to new regions and extend their lifespan, increasing the possibility of transmitting pathogens. “Our results indicate that the prevalence of B. burgdorferi in 2010-2021 was higher than in 2001-2010,” the authors write, noting that longer summers, warmer winters and changes in rainfall could play a role in the distribution. ticks.
