Reports of Lyme Disease in Virginia
13,326
Total cases of lyme disease confirmed in Virginia (2000 to 2016)

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 133,260 true cases of Lyme disease in Virginia.
