Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of these factors played a role in the emergence and spread of Lyme disease. Increased deer and mouse populations provided more hosts for ticks to feed on and increased the likelihood of Lyme disease transmission. Increased deer tick populations meant there were more ticks in general, increasing the likelihood of human exposure to infected ticks. Expansion of new home developments into wooded areas increased human exposure to ticks and potentially infected animals. Climate change has also been linked to changes in tick populations and tick-borne disease transmission.
