Please can you supply the number of cases of Lyme’s Disease in the district of East Devon by year over the last 20 years. Could you also provide any data you have on which parishes in the district of East Devon have a notable prevalence of ticks.
Devon County Council does not hold this information.
We do hold information relating to Tick bites and Lyme Disease Indicators for East Devon from UK Health Security Agency for the period 2018-2022.
Further information sources that you might find useful are:
- The Tick Surveillance Scheme – where tick samples can be sent to UKHSA to help track species & their health impacts
- The Tick national distribution map (last updated 2020).
- The guidance for Lyme disease is available and most recently (created in Feb 2022 ) is the new Lyme disease indicator on the Fingertips PH data platform.
