This figure appears in chapter 5 of the The Impacts of Climate Change on Human Health in the United States: A Scientific Assessment report.

Box plots comparing the distributions of the national-level historical observed data for annual Lyme onset week (1992–2007 in green) with the distributions of AOGCM multi-model mean projections of Lyme onset week for each of four Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP2.6, 4.5, 6.0, and 8.5) and two future time periods (2025–2040 in blue, 2065–2080 in red). Each box plot shows the values of Lyme disease onset week for the maximum (top of dashed line), 75th percentile (top of box), average (line through box), 25th percentile (bottom of box), and minimum (bottom of dashed line) of the distribution. All distributions are comprised of values for 12 eastern states and 16 years (N = 192). Additional details can be found in Monaghan et al. (2015).
