Scientist Discusses Research Investigating Additional Pathogens Causing Lyme Disease Symptoms on 'Interviews with Experts' Series
Lyme disease researcher Eva Sapi, PhD, discusses current projects at the University of New Haven on the audio series, 'Interviews with Experts'. Studies analyze additional pathogens besides Borrelia suspected of contributing to Lyme disease symptoms. Research also focuses on finding reasons why antibiotics do not always kill Lyme bacteria. Sapi expresses concern over the rapid increase in number of ticks infected with Lyme bacteria. The interview is part of an ongoing series offering Lyme specialists a program for discussing Lyme disease symptoms, diagnosis and treatment. http://www.lyme-disease-research-database.com/

Tick Born Diseases in Pets: What To Do And How To Treat
Warm weather brings out a host of parasites that like to prey on pets, including the tick. Ticks, while annoying and bothersome, can also be deadly for our dogs. Ticks carry a range of diseases within their bodies, and when they attach to a dog, these various diseases can be transferred through their saliva. The ideal way to avoid any tick born diseases is to attempt to prevent them. Monthly application of flea and tick preventative is a must, as it kills ticks within a short time frame. This alone does not always prevent the spread of disease, and it is possible for a tick to remain on a dog long enough to pass a disease (for example, if it is close to reapplication of preventative).

International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS) Announces Physician Training Program
International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS), in partnership with Turn the Corner Foundation (TTC), launch a new physicians training program intended to decrease the incidence of chronic Lyme disease. Lyme is a complex disease without accurate diagnostic testing solutions. Advanced clinical expertise is often required by physicians to ensure patients receive effective diagnosis and treatment programs. This program is intended to increase patients' access to care for Lyme treatment by increasing the number of physicians trained to treat both early and late-stage cases of Lyme disease.
Lyme Disease Proves Even More Complicated With Associated Co-Infections: Time For Lyme Urges Patients to Request Testing for Three Other Common Tick-B
According to Debbie Siciliano,co-president of Time for Lyme, a Greenwich CT based Lyme disease advocacy and education group, "For most patients, the initial Lyme disease diagnosis is overwhelming and the primary focus is naturally on treating it effectively. " Dr. Daniel Cameron, president of ILADS, adds that "the ticks that transmit the bacteria that causes Lyme disease also carry numerous other pathogens that can complicate the treatment and management of the primary infection and lead to a longer-lasting, more devastating illness." Dr Cameron encourages new patients to request testing for the three most common Lyme disease co-infections: Babesiosis and Erlichiosis (HME or HCE), both parasitic infections, and Bartonellosis, an infectio...
