The latest issue of The Lyme Report goes out to subscribers tomorrow and, just in time for Christmas, it’s lucky number 13. Here’s what subscribers will find in tomorrow’s edition:
FEATURE: A lot of surveillance goes on in Canada to determine where Lyme-infected ticks are making their homes, where they are likely to spread next, how many human cases there are, and much more. In this issue, I’ll give you an overview of the tracking systems, case definitions, and field work that allows health officials to keep tabs on it all.
ANALYSIS: Of all the papers I indexed this month, the one I found the most intriguing was an analysis of Canadian websites to determine the accuracy of the information they are conveying about Lyme disease. I’ll be taking a look at that research to see how three popular patient advocacy groups (CanLyme, Lyme Ontario, and Association quebecoise de la maladie de Lyme) stack up against the government when it comes to information on Lyme disease prevention.
HIGHLIGHTS: Public Health Ontario recently released its 2018 summary report on vector-borne diseases and I’ll walk you through the key take-aways from that report.
NEWS BRIEFS: Veterinarians sound the alarm on tick-borne anaplasmosis in Nova Scotia.
