The first round of research updates for 2020 are a round up of the small flurry of papers that were published in the waining weeks of 2019. From Lyme disease in children to woodchip barriers, it was an eclectic end to a year in which we saw more diversity in Canadian Lyme research than ever before.

These are the research papers that were added to the Lyme Disease in Canada website this month:

• Host dispersal shapes the population structure of a tick-borne bacterial pathogen

• Deconvoluting the diversity of within-host pathogen strains in a multi-locus sequence typing framework

• Lyme disease in children: Data from the Canadian Paediatric Surveillance Program

• Zoonotic Babesia: A scoping review of the global evidence

• Lyme neuroborreliosis presenting as spinal myoclonus

• Lyme Disease Frontiers: Reconciling Borrelia Biology and Clinical Conundrums

• Woodchip borders at the forest ecotone as an environmental control measure to reduce questing tick density along recreational trails in Ottawa, Canada

• A new role for host annexin A2 in establishing bacterial adhesion to vascular endothelial cells: lines of evidence from atomic force microscopy and an in vivo study
