Summary

The dossier is a resolution on Lyme disease (Borreliosis). Amendments describe it as a tick-borne zoonotic disease whose geographical spread is linked to land-use change and climate change, note difficulties of diagnosis, unreliable serological tests and lack of EU consensus on treatment and surveillance, and call for standardised diagnostics, mandatory reporting, recognition as an occupational disease for outdoor workers, awareness campaigns, and research including vaccine development.
