The basic reproduction number R0 of the disease and its computation formulae are established.It is shown that R0 serves a threshold value between the extinction and the persistence of Lyme disease evolution.Numerical simulations indicate that the spatial heterogeneity of disease transmission coefficient increases the basic reproduction number, but the spatial heterogeneity of carrying capacity of mice alleviates the value of R0.  Moreover, influences of host population sizes, destruction of tick habitats and deployment ofvaccinations  are studied to give insights into optimal control of the disease.
