Infrared imaging can detect early Lyme inflammation invisible to the naked eye, Ukrainian study suggests.
This conference was an incredible opportunity for practitioners and experts to network and to share ideas formally, through presentations, and informally, between talks.
Field trial achieved 20 to 70% drop in infected ticks, research suggests.
People working outdoors and closely with animals are vulnerable to tick bites, European study finds.
Diagnoses should be more than just a laboratory test result.
Top U.S. experts warn of an ‘urgent need to identify and develop safe and effective treatments.’
New report finds mosquito gut deactivates Lyme bacteria.
Lyme disease is a rapidly evolving problem in Canada that won’t just disappear, CanLyme expert warns.
CanLyme’s Dr. Vett Lloyd and Dr. Anna Ignaszak studying tiny biosensor to detect bacteria in patients’ urine.
Health-care professionals often don’t listen to their female patients, researchers say.
Several creatures are able to glue themselves to rocks or solid surfaces – think mussels or spiders – but ticks are different.
‘Future large-scale prospective studies are warranted,’ authors say.
Mapping of disease-causing ticks is ‘currently insufficient,’ new report says.
Lyme is widely recognized as an underreported illness. For example, a 2015 American study shows cases in the U.S. were likely 10 times higher than reported. The authors wanted to see whether a similar gap exists in Manitoba.
