Estimation of Lyme Borreliosis diseases in humans and infected canines

For the estimation of Lyme Borreliosis infections, two specific models were formulated. One model was formulated considering Borrelia malady in humans, and it was used to correct false positive and false negative results by assuming published specificity and sensitivity measures. Another model was designed by speculating Borellia diseases in sentry dogs. It was used for the prevalence quantification of Lyme syndrome in human beings. The baseline of this model wasa canine and human infection in Germany.

Comparison of these two models helped evaluate the relationship between prevalence, incidence, and infection rate of Lyme Borreliosis from publicized data. It was manipulated in these models to calculate annual prevalence, incidence, and Lyme borreliosis infections. Linear modeling rates were used than exponential growth rates.

In the USA incidence of Lyme for the year, 2018 was 473,000 per year; 434,000 per year in France, and it was 132,000 per year in the UK.The prevalence rate in the USA was 2.4 million, 2.2 million in France, and in the United Kingdom, it was 667,000. Entire infections in the USA were 10.1 million, 2.8 million in the united kingdom, and 10 million in Germany.
