The research section of the Lyme Disease in Canada website has been updated to include a dozen new papers written by (or involving) Canadian researchers, bringing the total number indexed so far for 2019 to 34 with many more to come.
These latest papers delve into the accuracy of Lyme disease statistics, the potential impact of climate change on tick-borne diseases, the immanent arrival of longhorn ticks, the value of scientific collaboration, the distribution of ticks, overviews of tick surveillance and methods, Lyme carditis management, tick-borne infections in cervid (deer family) populations, Lyme’s possible role in Morgellons disease, and the psychosocial reasons why communities pursue Lyme disease prevention.
For those of you who love to read research papers, head over the Lyme Disease in Canada site where you can binge on the 250+ papers indexed there. For those of you who would rather jam a pencil in your thigh than slog through reams of medical and/or scientific jargon, I’ll be providing in-depth analyses of these papers in upcoming issues of The Lyme Report. So if you haven’t yet subscribed, you may want to do so now by clicking on the button below.
As always, if you know of any research being done by Canadian scientists that I should be including on the Lyme Disease in Canada site or exploring in The Lyme Report, please send me an email with the details. I’ll be happy to check it out.
