In 1990, a second cross-sectional study of outdoor workers (n=758) at high risk for Lyme disease was conducted.
A questionnaire was administered, and antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi and tick salivary gland proteins (antitick saliva antibody, a biologic marker of tick exposure) were assayed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
The statewide Lyme disease seroprevalence increased from 8.1% in 1988 to 18.7% in 1990.
Antitick saliva antibody seropositivity varied by county and was associed with measures of self-reported tick exposure.
