Usage examples
  • Borreliosis (Lyme disease) should be included as cause of deferral. In terms of epidemiology the Lyme disease is an important entity because the number of cases is steadily growing. Although there is no direct evidence of Borrelia transmission with blood in humans (the available studies on borreliosis transmission are however old and date back to the 1990 ies) transmission with blood was proved on animal models and Borrelia survives in the temperature of blood storage.

Usage examples
  • Changes in tick distribution have also been observed. The limit of tick distribution in the EU is shifting northwards and also to higher altitudes; the shift towards milder winters may lead to an expansion of the tick population and, consequently, to an increase of human exposure to Lyme borreliosis and tick-borne encephalitis.
