“In patients with persistent symptoms, I think the number with co-infections is almost 100%. I only have a few patients with classic Lyme.” – Elke Schäfer Lyme (Borreliosis), Anaplasmosis, Ehrlichiosis, Babesiosis, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Bartonella, Tularemia, and more recently, Borrelia miyamotoi (a distant relative of Lyme Borreliosis) are recognized tick-borne infectious diseases in the United...
The Global Search for Education: The 300,000 – Ticks
“We need to continue to understand the range of infections that may be passed along in a tick bite such as Babesia, Anaplasmosis and Ehrlichiosis. Insurance companies must recognize the risk of chronicity and the severe manifestations of Lyme disease in the lives of the patients they insure.” — Dan Cameron The “We are the 300,000” campaign is a new grassroots campaign by the Lyme community to...

“Chronic Lyme disease is due to the persistence of Borrelia within tissues but is also probably due to other micro-organisms responsible for co-infections.”– Dr. Christian Perronne Lyme (Borreliosis), Anaplasmosis /Ehrlichiosis, Babesiosis, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Bartonella, Tularemia, and more recently, Borrelia miyamotoi (a distant relative of Lyme Borreliosis) are recognized tick-borne...

“One of the first projects should be the improvement of the test sensitivity for chronic Lyme disease patients worldwide. The European Union has spent over 1 million Euros on the development of a high-sensitive lab on a chip project which is still underway.” — Dr. Armin Schwarzbach The CDC’s new estimate this month of 300,000 cases of Lyme disease per year in the US (10 times higher than previously...

“Our method is based upon live blood microscopy. Bacteria become visible by optical changes involving refraction index, swelling and spreading of cells which result in inflated structures well above the optical resolution capacities for a light microscope.” — Morten Laane and Ivar Mysterud Oslo University biologists Morten Laane and Ivar Mysterud have discovered a method to identify Borrelia bacteria in the...
