Welcome to Lyme Ontario! Lyme Ontario is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to increase awareness, education and information on Lyme disease. We are a small volunteer based group that strives to enhance resources for those who may be affected or exploring tick borne infections through supportin...
These data highlight two key points regarding serological diagnosis of Lyme disease. First, false-positivity rates of the two-tier algorithm, when using CDC-recommended test interpretation criteria, are low. In contrast, false-positivity rates (including false positive results in healthy controls) rea...
The goal of this study was a spatial analysis of Lyme disease in southern Ontario for the years 2015-2019 with a focus on the association between Lyme disease prevalence and Internet search frequencies recorded by Google Trends. A choropleth map visualized the raw prevalence of Lyme disea...
In cases with evidence for both early and disseminated stage Lyme disease, cases were classified as disseminated stage under the assumption that the presenting signs and symptoms were the later disseminated manifestations. Validation of EHR algorithm for early and disseminated stage Lyme disease We ...

The authors evaluate all parameters and apply their model to Lyme disease transmission in Long Point, a hamlet in Ontario, Canada where the disease is widespread. "In recent years, northward invasive spread of the endemic tick vectors from the United States to nonendemic Canadian habitats has bec...
The northern limit of Lyme disease cases has also been progressing northward from the northeastern United States into southeastern Ontario. Several factors such as climate change, changes in host abundance, host and vector migration, or possibly a combination of these factors likely contribute to the...
