To help raise awareness and education on the impact of stealth pathogens and the role they play in various chronic illnesses, Bec is currently writing, directing and producing a series of self-funded educational documentaries entitled Invisibly Ill.
Abstract Mass spectrometry enhanced by nanotechnology can achieve previously unattainable sensitivity for characterizing urinary pathogen-derived peptides. We utilized mass spectrometry enhanced by affinity hydrogel particles (analytical sensitivity = 2.5 pg/mL) to study tick pathogen-specific proteins shed in the urine of patients with (1) erythema migrans rash and acute symptoms, (2) post treatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS), and (3)…
May 25th, 2016 Interesting radio show with Dr. Liz Zubek, who treats based upon the patient’s symptoms, and Dr. William Bowie, of the Association of Medical Microbiology and Infectious Disease of Canada (AMMI) who suggests the entire province of British Columbia has a 0.5 % tick infection rate, which is scientifically impossible. In the 1940’s…
Release date- 09012014 – Leverkusen, – Nearly half of the world’s population is infected with at least one type of vector-borne disease (1). These diseases are transmitted from parasites to animals and humans, and have a significant impact on public health and our global economy. The economic impact of Lyme disease alone is estimated to…
Aaron M. Thorp and Laura Tonnetti Article first published online: 21 DEC 2015 DOI: 10.1111/trf.13398 BACKGROUND Borrelia miyamotoi, the agent of relapsing fever, is a tick-borne spirochete first isolated in Japan in 1994. Since then, the spirochete has been detected in ticks globally, generally in the same vectors as the Lyme disease agent. Human infection has…
[CanLyme Note: Bartonella bacteria can be transmitted by ticks, cat scratches, dog saliva, etc.] Published in the Jounral of Central Nervous System Disease, March 18th, Edward B Breitshwerdt et al Abstract Background: With the advent of more sensitive culture and molecular diagnostic testing modalities, Bartonella spp. infections have been documented in blood and/or cerebrospinal fluid specimens from patients…
Healthcare 2018, 6(1), 22; doi:10.3390/healthcare6010022 Julie Lewis, Corinne R. Boudreau, James W. Patterson, Jonathan Bradet-Legris, Vett K. Lloyd Abstract Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne disease in North America and Europe, and on-going surveillance is required to monitor the spread of the tick vectors as their populations expand under the influence of climate change. Active surveillance…
