Tick-borne diseases in the North Sea region-A comprehensive overview and recommendations for diagnostics and treatment

• As part of the NorthTick project, co -funded by the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund and the North Sea Region Programme, specialists in the field of tick -borne diseases from seven North Sea countries co-operated with patient organisations and governmental health care institutions to provide this comprehensive overview of diagnostics and treatment recommendations in the region for Lyme borreliosis, Borrelia miyamotoi infection, tick -borne encephalitis, human granulocytic anaplasmosis, rickettsiosis, neoehrlichiosis and babesiosis. The main conclusion is that the recommendations in these northern countries are essentially the same, with very few differences. This overview presents the current diagnostics and provides useful clinical guidance.
