Journal Article
This paper describes the results of a survey of scientific papers that report the effects of various factors on cases of tick-borne disease. We sorted these factors into whether they were related to people's yards (like whether people gardened or had bird feeders), their neighborhoods, or the way they spent time outside of their neighborhoods (like hiking, picnicking, or hunting). The characteristics of their neighborhoods had the biggest effect on their probability of contracting a tick-borne disease.
