Abstract
Results of an investigation on the exposure to tick bites among soldiers in 6 permanent army structures on the territory of Belgrade are shown. Four army structures were found to be active foci of Lyme borreliosis. Infection rates among Ixodes ticks were from 10% in urban structures to 42.1% in rural structures. Exposure of soldiers to tick bites was the largest in rural army structures--3.40%, while in urban army structures it was 0.14%. Among 38 tick bitten army members, 1 developed clinical manifestation as Lyme borreliosis (2.6%).
