<<Pathogens of the closely related α-proteobacterial genera Bartonella and Brucella encode, on the one hand, homologous virulence devices and factors (i.e., VirB T4SS, LPS) and, on the other hand, specific effectors and strategies to invade, proliferate, and persist into host cells and organisms and thus engender distinctive chronic, occasionally fatal infections. >>

Dr. Horowitz will be one of many experienced medical professionals who will be speakering at the upcoming conference..."Richard I. Horowitz, MD, is a Board Certified Internist and Director of the Hudson Valley Healing Arts Center, in Hyde Park, New York, USA. He is a founding member of ILADS, and is President of the International Lyme and Associated Disease Educational Foundation (ILADEF), an organization dedicated to the education of health professionals in the diagnosis and treatment of tick-borne disorders."

"Dr. Horowitz has treated over 12,000 chronic Lyme disease patients in the last 20 years, and has researched and published on the role of co-infections in patients with persistent symptoms. He was awarded the Humanitarian of the Year award by the Turn the Corner Foundation in 2007, for his ongoing work with chronic Lyme disease."

As national awareness and confirmed diagnoses of Lyme disease grows, Discover magazine is releasing a sustained, deep investigation of the science and politics surrounding the disease. TICKED: The Battle Over Lyme in the South is the result of a three-year investigation of the controversy over Lyme disease diagnosis in the Southern United States, where the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) do not recognize the disease — but a growing number of scientists and physicians do.

Tick bites can lead to red meat allergy

"Alpha-gal is a sugar that is contained in mammalian meat such as beef, goat, pork, venison, lamb or bison. Fish, turkey and chicken do not contain alpha gal. When a person who is allergic to alpha-gal eats red meat, their body releases histamines that can cause hives, swelling, dizziness, difficulty breathing or closure of the throat that can ultimately lead to death. These patients must quickly be treated with epinephrine and antihistamines."

More evidence for the ways borrelia can change their gene expression in this paper:
"The telomere resolvase of the Lyme disease spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi, promotes DNA single-strand annealing and strand exchange"
by Taskia Mir, Shu Hui Huang and Kerri Kobryn
"One of the most intriguing examples of recombination at hairpin telomeres is the gene conversion that drives antigenic variation of the vlsE expression site locus. The
single expression site for VlsE is located immediately upstream of a linear plasmid telomere. Information in the variable region of the vlsE gene is replaced by information from an array of silent copies of the vls variable region located upstream of the telomeric expression site;
the silent vls cassette array is arranged in inverted repeat orientation with respect to the expression site. vls switching usually involves short conversions of the variable portion of the vlsE expression site from unexpressed donor site(s) in a process that is RecA-independent but dependent on the branch migration motor RuvAB, implying the involvement of some variety of RecA-independent strand exchange reaction"

from Denise

I only understand this in a general way - which is that Borrelia have the ability to pick up foreign DNA using the end segments of the chromosome almost like a lasso.

"Previously ticks were fought in domestic and farm animals at the local level, but now it is left to each farmer himself to act against ticks." The problem of blood-sucking parasites must be addressed at the national level. "Otherwise there is the risk that the disease spreads into an epidemic."

Because people can get sick, but also by eating infected animal flesh not only by the bite of a tick. The Crimean-Congo fever is highly contagious. From person to person, it is transmitted through contact with infected saliva or blood or urine. "In the severe form up to 40 percent of infected people die," warned Deputy Health Minister Elioda Tumwesigye few days ago."

Ticks are causing disease everywhere......

The Effects of Lyme Disease

Growing up all I knew about ticks was that they fell off trees and you use a match to get them off. As an adult I learned that they could give me Lyme Disease, but it wasn’t a big deal. Two years into my Lyme Disease treatment, I realized everything I knew was wrong. My photo series is to show what we go through after were bitten with Lyme Disease and co infections. The general public never gets to see what we go through after were bitten. From Lyme Literate Medical Doctors, (LLMD) to not being able to get out of bed. Its years of struggle that the general public doubts we endure, because they were taught it goes away after 4 weeks of treatment. After that were labeled crazy and a hypochondriac. Hopefully after this photo series, we try to educate ourselves more on the havoc Lyme Disease actually has on people’s lives. A big thank you to all the Lyme subjects and doctors offices that helped made this photo series possible.

A Must Read. Discussed on Lyme Light Radio the other week.

TICKED examines the complex ecology of the Southern states, including a host of ticks that some researchers contend may be spreading a Lyme-like disease, if not Lyme itself. The story also dives into the fierce debate now brewing between scientists over how tick-borne illness is transmitted, detected and defined.

If you have a diagnosis of Lyme disease, you should be aware that you may also be dealing with common co-infections such as Babesiosis, Ehrlichsiosis, or Bartonellosis. Get tested and treated for these additional inflictions, which can cause symptoms and impact the immune-system.

What are some of the problems associated with co-infections? Well, it begins with not even knowing that you might have them. Not all diagnostics labs are created equal. We admire the work that is being done at IGeneX. Here are some of the reasons why......

Thanks Doc Martin for reminding me about the Carotid artery.
In turn this reminded me of what Dr Jemsek said "Clinical Pearls" in Lyme Borreliosis Complex
'The sore throat that is not a sore throat' - What is Carotidynia?
Frequently our patients describe sore throats as part of their recurring symptom complex. Often, when specifically asked, the patients note that ear pain accompanies the throat pain, but the patients often state that their primary physician can find no reason for their discomfort. In fact, on examination, there is no sign of inflammation of the throat or ear.

But Lyme disease has the same problems it had twenty years ago. The lab tests are not a reliable means of excluding a Lyme diagnosis and antibiotics do not easily cure late stage Lyme disease. "

An Anti-Tick Vaccine-The New York Times Opinion Page

"People who get vaccinated only against Lyme disease might relax their vigilance against ticks and become more vulnerable to these other tick-borne illnesses, which are rapidly emerging in several parts of the United States. Progress has been made in developing vaccines that cause our immune systems to attack the tick itself when it attempts to feed. Indeed, some breeds of cattle, and some humans, are resistant to tick bites because of inherent immunity to proteins in tick saliva. "
