Recent Progress in Lyme Disease and Remaining Challenges
Lyme disease (also known as Lyme borreliosis) is the most common vector-borne disease in the United States with an estimated 476,000 cases per year. While historically, the long-term impact of Lyme disease on patients has been controversial, mounting evidence supports the idea that a substantial number of patients experience persistent symptoms following treatment. The research community has ...
Research Publications
This paper reviews the current literature on the diagnosis, etiology, risk factors, treatments and heterogeneity of patients with persistent symptoms of Lyme disease. The meaning and relevance of existing patient subgroups are discussed, as are future research priorities, including the need to develop illness biomarkers, elucidate the biologic ...
A Critical Appraisal of "Chronic Lyme Disease"
Lyme disease, the most common tick-borne infection in the northern hemisphere, is a serious public health problem. In North America, it is caused exclusively by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto ...
Systematic comparisons between Lyme disease and post-treatment Lyme
For Lyme disease cases, we started from identifying the first Lyme disease records for each patient in the database (ICD = 088.81; light blue shading) and filtered for those who had also consecutively enrolled in the national managed health care plan for at least 1 year prior to and 2 years following the first records (light purple shading).
PDF Current Efforts in Lyme Disease Research
Current research efforts, partially supported by RFA-AI-19-037, include: Identifying B. burgdorferi antigens that could be used in next-generation Lyme disease vaccines. Studying the potential of a "chimerotope" vaccine, modeled after a recently approved canine vaccine for use in the veterinary field.

Lyme disease and its treatment implications have become an ever-increasing area of concern within the United States related to the markedly increased prevalence of infection within the last two ...
PTLD: Recent Advancements in Long-Haul Lyme Disease Research
John Aucott, M.D., an infectious diseases specialist and the founding Director/physician of the Johns Hopkins Lyme Disease Research Center, is a world authority on this "post-treatment Lyme disease" (PTLD), a condition he helped define. Its symptoms are persistent, and can include fatigue, pain, weakness, brain fog, and sleep disorders. He ...
Johns Hopkins Lyme Disease Research Center
Patient-based Epidemiologic and Clinical Translational Research. The Johns Hopkins Medicine Lyme Disease Research Center is pioneering patient-based multidisciplinary research in all manifestations of Lyme disease. Our mission is to bridge the gaps in Lyme disease knowledge and translate our research findings into improved patient care.
Research at the Lyme Disease Center
The Problem. Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne disease in the US with approximately 500,000 new cases every year. The geographic range of the tick-borne epidemic is expanding as infected ticks spread into new regions. Timely diagnosis and effective treatments are problems for many. Misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis can lead to ...
Diagnosis and treatment of "chronic Lyme": primum non nocere
Approximately 10% of patients experience prolonged symptoms after Lyme disease. PTLDS (post treatment Lyme disease syndrome) is a controversial topic. It has been described as a source of overdiagnosis and off-label treatment. This review aims to describe the diagnostic errors and adverse events associated with the diagnosis and treatment of PTLDS. systematic review of the literature in the ...
"The State of Lyme Disease Research in the United States"
In the "State of Lyme Disease Research," Center for Lyme Action makes 26 important recommendations. The paper is organized around the five research priorities from the 2019 NIH Strategic Plan for Tick-borne Disease Research, a comprehensive blueprint to guide a research program that can provide relief to patients across the United States ...
Living with Lyme disease: The nurse's role in patient care
After the Lyme disease bacterium is transmitted, the first presenting symptom is often a rash known as erythema migrans at the site of the tick bite. This rash is commonly referred to as a bulls-eye rash because of its distinct red, ring-shaped appearance (see Picturing Lyme disease). The rash can develop 3 to 30 days after the tick bite and is ...
As Lyme Disease Expands Its Reach, New Research Offers Hope
Public health warnings about vector-borne diseases in the US are heating up. In a May editorial, scientists from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) made a plea for a vaccine against West Nile virus, which is spread by mosquitoes and has no treatment.By midsummer, the CDC reported that as many as 450 000 people in the US may have a meat allergy from the bite of the lone star ...
Lyme symptoms: New research offers clue to severity, spread
The new research is at a very early stage, but it is an important step to understanding and treating the disease, said Kim Lewis, a Lyme expert and a professor of biology at Northeastern ...

1 INTRODUCTION. Lyme disease (LD) is the most common vector-borne disease in the United States. Recent estimates suggest that nearly 500,000 people in the U.S. are diagnosed and treated for LD yearly (CDC, 2022a).The mainstay of LD prevention is a range of personal protection methods recommended by public health officials, including the use of repellents, checking for ticks after being ...

Lyme Disease symptoms: Why some recover fast and others do not
Anywhere from 30,000 up to 500,000 people develop Lyme disease from a tick bite each year, according to the C DC. For most, the infection is mild and easily treated with antibiotics. About 10% ...
Environmental Changes Are Fueling Human, Animal and Plant Diseases

Biodiversity Loss Increases the Risk of Disease Outbreaks, Analysis
May 13, 2024. Human-caused biodiversity loss is a major factor that could contribute to more frequent and severe disease outbreaks, according to a new study. Renee Grayson via Flickr under CC BY 2 ...
Dwindling biodiversity might make you sick
Biodiversity loss, invasive species and climate change emerged as the three environmental problems with the strongest link to increased disease. Loss of biodiversity stood out. It was associated with a 65% greater increase in disease than invasive species and a 111% greater increase than climate change, the scientists reported last week in Nature.
Dwindling biodiversity might make you sick.
A classic example is abundant white-footed mice that are carriers of Lyme disease, according to Rohr. The phenomenon "is a well-known mechanism by which biodiversity loss increases disease ...
