Reports of Lyme Disease in Alaska

144

Total cases of lyme disease confirmed in Alaska (2000 to 2020)

Note:

Due to the fact that the CDC's data only represents confirmed cases, the actual quantity of Lyme disease cases may be far greater. We estimate a total of 1,440 true cases of Lyme disease in Alaska.
