Abstract：Lyme disease is an important emerging infectious disease, which is mainly transmitted by tick-biting in humans and animals. The pathogen of this disease is Borrelia burgdorferi. The risk of B. burgdorferi infection in humans is associated with the distribution of tick species, geographical factors, and human activities. This article reviews the epidemic situation, genotype distribution, main vectors, animal hosts, and prevention and control measures of Lyme disease, in order to provide a reference for the surveillance and control of Lyme disease.
