Peridomestic and Neighborhood-Level Deciduous Land Cover Associated with Lyme Disease Risk: Results from a Case–Control Study in the United States
This study identified the presence of deciduous land cover as a key indicator associated with increased LD risk, though outdoor activities conferred increased risk independent of residential land cover. Furthermore, individual behaviors were found to modulate LD risk differently across residential contexts.
