Forbes: Lyme Deaths From Heart Inflammation Likely Worse Than We Thought
ByCanLyme Team September 7, 2015April 21, 2023
September 4th, 2015 Lyme disease and other tick-borne infections are skyrocketing. In western Pennsylvania, where I work, Lyme increased 25% just between 2013 and 2014, with Butler County having 412 cases and Allegheny County chalking up a record 822 cases last year. And where I vacation, in Maine, the rate of Lyme in 2014 was…

Global TV – Lyme disease tests may not be accurate for some Canadians – Patients worried
ByCanLyme Team September 3, 2015April 21, 2023
[CanLyme Note: The Association of Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases Canada (AMMI) failed to point out that there is no ‘gold standard serology’ for Lyme disease. The only standard is American ‘surveillance criteria’ that were never intended for establishing whether or not to treat clinical cases of Lyme disease. The US surveillance criteria were established in…

Disease Risk & Landscape Attributes of Tick-Borne Borrelia Pathogens in the San Francisco Bay Area, California

Published: August 19, 2015 – DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0134812 Abstract Habitat heterogeneity influences pathogen ecology by affecting vector abundance and the reservoir host communities. We investigated spatial patterns of disease risk for two human pathogens in the Borrelia genus–B. burgdorferi and B. miyamotoi–that are transmitted by the western black-legged tick, Ixodes pacificus. We collected ticks (349 nymphs,…

Return on Investment Slipping in Biomedical Research
ByCanLyme Team August 24, 2015April 21, 2023
[CanLyme note: Medical research should be of the highest standard of all research, but in many cases the opposite is true. A good example is the Infectious Disease Society of America and their published material. Much of it is no more than opinion, not reproducible, and certainly not worthy of publication yet they get broad coverage…

It starts with a tick bite. This may be followed by the characteristic bullseye rash. And then the other symptoms of Lyme disease appear. Fever, fatigue, body aches, and headaches can all set in. For most patients diagnosed with Lyme disease, the symptoms fade as the infection is cleared following a course of antibiotics. But…

Globe and Mail: How ticks became a major public health issue

[CanLyme Note: The tell-tale “bull’s eye” rash seldom occurs. Of those 17 children in Nova Scotia with confirmed Lyme Disease, only 18% had a rash of any kind. Current research indicates only a “small subset” of the various strains of borrelia bacteria that cause Lyme disease will cause any rash. Read here.] August 9th, 2015 Erin…
