Preview: Issue 31

The latest issue of The Lyme Report goes out to subscribers tomorrow and in it I’ll be investigating Lyme disease treatment guidelines and looking at some new research on Rocky Mountain spotted fever in Ontario. 

• FEATURE: What’s the best way to treat Lyme disease? Competing guidelines try to answer that question and in this week’s issue of The Lyme Report, I take you through three sets of guidelines that address the challenge in three different ways based on what disparate experts feel existing scientific evidence best supports.

• ANALYSIS:  Though it has long been technically possible for Ontario residents to contract Rocky Mountain spotted fever from ticks within the province, how many people actually do? That’s the question a group of public health researchers tried to answer in a recently published study.

• NEWS BRIEFS: Recent articles take a look at Lyme disease in Northern BC and blacklegged ticks in Saskatchewan.
