|---|---|---|---|
| Herrington et al. (2004)a | Connecticut, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island | Not included | The remaining 42 contiguous states and the District of Columbia |

High Lyme disease incidence states defined as having ≥10 reported cases per 100,000 persons per year from 1992 to 1998. Low Lyme disease incidence states defined as having <10 reported cases per 100,000 persons per year from 1992 to 1998.
High Lyme disease incidence states defined as having ≥10 reported confirmed cases per 100,000 persons per year from 2008 to 2015. Neighboring states defined as having <10 reported confirmed cases per 100,000 persons per year from 2008 to 2015 but sharing a border with a high Lyme disease incidence state. Low incidence states defined as having <10 reported confirmed cases per 100,000 persons per year from 2008 to 2015 and not sharing any border with a high Lyme disease incidence state.
