Authors: Tijsse-Klasen E, Pandak N, Hengeveld P, Takumi K, Koopmans MP and Sprong H Citation: Parasit Vectors 2013(Jan); 6(1): 23. “Conclusion This indicates that only a small subset of B. burgdorferi sl carried by ticks in the wild actually cause EM. Other genotypes either may be apathogenic for humans or may cause Lyme borreliosis without…

Lyme disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and inflamation – the relationship
ByCanLyme Team January 28, 2013April 21, 2023
For several years now it has been known that spirochetal bacteria have been identified in the brains of Alzheimer’s disease patients and that inflamation plays a significant role. Infectious organisims have long been thought to be a cause or trigger of Alzheimer’s disease, and Borrelia have been implicated along with other spirochetal bacteria. Here is a quote…

Investigation of Genotypes of Borrelia burgdorferi in Ixodes scapularis Ticks Collected during Surveillance in Canada
ByCanLyme Team January 24, 2013April 21, 2023
Ogden, et al Abstract The genetic diversity of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, the agent of Lyme disease in North America, has consequences for the performance of serological diagnostic tests and disease severity. To investigate B. burgdorferi diversity in Canada, where Lyme disease is emerging, bacterial DNA in 309 infected adult Ixodes scapularis ticks collected in…

The Public Health Laboratory of Quebec reports new cases of Lyme disease and bartonella
ByCanLyme Team January 22, 2013April 21, 2023
New cases of Lyme disease and bartonella have been reported for the 17 month period July, 2011, to November, 2012. These cases are only those that passed the narrow 2 tier lab protocol that is not capable of detected all known human pathogenic strains/species of the Lyme disease (a borreliosis). This number will represent a serious under-reporting…

Guidelines: Guides to Profit? [Money talks]
ByCanLyme Team December 19, 2012April 21, 2023
By John Fauber, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel/Medpage Today and Ellen Gabler, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Published: December 19, 2012 The stated intent of treatment guidelines is to “guide” clinicians’ treatment of patients with a series of recommendations based on evidence. But that intent may not be universally reflected in published guidelines and the disconnect is all about…

High-Throughput Screening Identifies Three Inhibitor Classes of the Telomere Resolvase from the Lyme Disease Spirochete
ByCanLyme Team December 14, 2012April 21, 2023
Abstract Lyme disease, the most common vector-borne zoonosis in North America, is caused by the spirochetal pathogen Borrelia burgdorferi. The telomere resolvase encoded by this organism (ResT) promotes the formation of covalently closed hairpin ends on the linear DNA molecules of B. burgdorferi through a two-step transesterification. ResT is essential for survival and is therefore…
