ABSTRACT

Objective: bearing in mind the risk posed by the presence of the vector of Lyme disease in Cuba, the authors have considered it necessary to carry out a review of the disease with the purpose of contributing updated information to specialists and health institutions involved in its surveillance and epidemiological control.
Content: a discussion is presented of the history, microbiology, epizootiology and epidemiology of Lyme disease, as well as its clinical manifestations in the main domestic animal hosts.
Conclusions: Lyme borreliosis is a new infectious disease. Like other borrelias and spirochetes, it has an affinity for the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system, thus becoming a diagnosis of optimistic exclusion in neurology. Knowledge about the vectors, geographic distribution and some specific biological characteristics of this new borrelia species is crucial for practitioners of the 21st century, a time when immunology and molecular biology shed new light on old and new questions alike.
