During 2000-2011, U.S. Air Force Public Health Officers reported 770 cases of vectorborne and zoonotic diseases diagnosed at Air Force medical treatment facilities. Cases of Lyme disease accounted for 70 percent (n=538) of all cases and most cases of Lyme disease (57%) were reported from bases in the northeastern U.S. and in Germany. The annual numbers of reported Lyme disease cases were much higher during the last four years than earlier in the surveillance period. The next most commonly reported events were malaria (74 cases), Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) (41), Q fever (33), dengue (23), and leishmaniasis (20). These five infections and Lyme disease accounted for 95 percent of the reported conditions. Military service members accounted for a majority of the reported cases for most of the conditions, but family members and retirees accounted for most of the cases of Lyme disease and RMSF. Most reports of vectorborne and zoonotic diseases did not include mentions of recent travel.
2000年至2011年期间，美国空军公共卫生官员报告了770例在空军医疗设施确诊的媒介传播疾病和人畜共患病病例。莱姆病病例占所有病例的70%（n = 538），大多数莱姆病病例（57%）报告自美国东北部和德国的基地。在监测期的最后四年中，每年报告的莱姆病病例数比早期要高得多。接下来最常报告的疾病是疟疾（74例）、落基山斑疹热（RMSF）（41例）、Q热（33例）、登革热（23例）和利什曼病（20例）。这五种感染和莱姆病占报告病例的95%。大多数疾病报告病例中的多数是现役军人，但莱姆病和落基山斑疹热的大多数病例是家庭成员和退休人员。大多数媒介传播疾病和人畜共患病报告未提及近期旅行情况。
