Maine Tracking Network
The Maine Tracking Network publishes data dashboards for a variety of health and environmental concerns in Maine. The Tickborne Disease dashboard includes real-time and annual counts of Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, and babesiosis cases in Maine. The dashboard features tables, maps, and charts of case counts, rates, and emergency room visits in Maine.
Tick Submissions
The University of Maine Cooperative Extension's Tick Lab collects, identifies, and tests ticks submitted by Maine residents. They publish interactive data tables and reports to share infection rates by town, maps of tick submissions, and tick species activity throughout the state.
Vectorborne and Other Infectious Disease Reports
Maine CDC publishes Infectious Disease Epidemiology Reports with graphs, case counts, surveillance reports, and annual reports for reportable infectious diseases, including vectorborne diseases.
Arboviral Surveillance
Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE), Jamestown Canyon Virus (JCV), and West Nile Virus (WNV) are arboviral illnesses spread by the bite of an infected mosquito. Mosquito, animal, and human specimens are tested for the presence of EEE and WNV at Maine's Health and Environmental Testing Laboratory (HETL). U.S. CDC's also tests mosquitoes for the presence of JCV. Animal specimens may also be tested through the National Veterinary Services Laboratory (NVSL). The state of Maine organizes routine mosquito trapping at selected sites and routinely tests those mosquitoes for disease. The mosquito trapping season runs from July to September. Maine no longer routinely tests birds.
