Lyme disease in Ukraine in 2000–2023
The incidence of Lyme disease in Ukraine has significantly increased over the past 23 years, particularly in urban areas. The peaks in 2015 and 2022 suggest potential links to socio-political disruptions, such as changes in health services and population displacement due to the war. These findings underscore the need for improved public health strategies, with a particular focus on managing LD in urban settings, and addressing the urban-rural disparity in case distribution.
