Why an integrated approach to tick-borne pathogens is important in the diagnosis of clinical cases
Diagnoses should be more than just a laboratory test result.
Generation Lyme
Generation Lyme is a patient-led non-profit organization that is dedicated to supporting individuals affected by Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses. Their mission is to create a welcoming, supportive, safe, and inspirational space for tick-borne disease patients and supporters.

Researchers probe the secret of how ticks stick
Several creatures are able to glue themselves to rocks or solid surfaces – think mussels or spiders – but ticks are different.
A special thank you to CanLyme volunteers, Sue and Gary McDougall
From videography, to Lyme prevention education and tick kit fulfillment — they’ve done it all.
Machine learning algorithms help predict tick-borne pathogen risk across Europe
A new study published in Annals of Medicine explores the potential for machine learning algorithms to predict the risk of tick-borne diseases around Europe. Ticks, known carriers of many pathogens, are influenced by a combination of factors, including climate, landscape, and host availability. This research uses machine learning to predict where tick concentrations are highest. …
