    Extractions: Lyme Disease What is Lyme disease? Lyme disease is an infection caused by a kind of bacteria (germ) called a spirochete (say: "spy-ro-keet"). The disease is carried by deer ticks and western black-legged ticks (found mostly on the Pacific Coast). These ticks can spread the disease to animals and humans through tick bites. These ticks are tiny. They are about the size of a sesame seed. Lyme disease is most common in rural and suburban areas in the northeastern and midwestern states. Lyme disease is also found in other parts of the United States, as well as in Europe, Asia and Australia. What are the symptoms of Lyme disease? The earliest sign of Lyme disease is a rash, which may appear 3 to 30 days after a tick bite. This rash, called erythema migrans (say: "ear-a-theem-a my-granz"), usually starts at the site of the tick bite. It may begin as a small red spot and grow larger. The center may fade, creating a "bull's eye" or ring appearance. Some people with Lyme disease have many red spots. The rash may burn, hurt or itch, or you may not notice it. Some people with Lyme disease start to feel ill around the time they notice the rash. They may have fever, chills, headaches, stiff neck, fatigue, muscle aches and joint pain. In a few people, early Lyme disease can spread to the heart or the nervous system. If Lyme disease spreads to the heart, the person may feel an irregular or slow heartbeat. Early spread of Lyme disease to the nervous system can cause the face to droop (a condition called Bell's palsy).

    Brookhaven Scientists Determine Key lyme disease Protein Structure. Called OspC,the protein is derived from two strains of the lyme disease bacterium.

    Extractions: February 28, 2001 UPTON, NY A research team working at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory has determined the three-dimensional structure of a key protein on the bacterium that causes Lyme disease. Called OspC, the protein is derived from two strains of the Lyme disease bacterium. This research may lead to a second-generation vaccine that would be more effective than the current one. The current vaccine is based on another Lyme disease protein, known as OspA, which was previously deciphered at Brookhaven. Both OspA and OspC are outer surface proteins of Borrelia burgdoferi, the bacterium that causes Lyme disease. Researchers from Brookhaven Lab, Stony Brook University's School of Medicine, the University of Rochester Medical Center and Rutgers University will report their findings on the structure of OspC in the March 1, 2001 edition of The EMBO Journal. Spread by the bite of an infected deer tick, Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne disease in the U.S. Between 1982 and 1996, more than 99,000 cases were reported in the nation. Early symptoms of the disease include a bull's-eye rash and flu-like symptoms. If the disease is not promptly treated with antibiotics, more serious symptoms, including joint and neurological complications, may develop.

    Extractions: Previous Story ... Related Stories Next Story Source: Society For Conservation Biology Date: Having a patch of woods in your backyard may boost your spirits but could threaten your health. New research shows that small forest fragments in New York have more Lyme disease-carrying ticks, which could increase peoples' risk of the disease. "These results suggest that...habitat fragmentation can influence human health," say Felicia Keesing of Bard College in Annandale, New York; Brian Allan of Rutgers University in New Jersey; and Richard Ostfeld of the Institute of Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook, New York, in the February issue of Conservation Biology. While fragments generally have fewer species than continuous habitat, some species actually do better in small patches. Notably, white-foot mice are more abundant in forest fragments in parts of the U.S., presumably because there are fewer predators and competitors left. White-footed mice are particularly abundant in fragments smaller than about five acres, and this could mean trouble for people living nearby because the mice are the main carriers of Lyme bacteria. In eastern and central North America, people catch Lyme disease via blacklegged ticks: first, larval ticks feed on infected mice, and then the infected larvae molt into nymphs that bite people.

    Extractions: Overview Lyme disease is a progressive, systemic illness that is caused by bacteria ( Borrelia burgdorferi ) and is usually transmitted by the bite of an infected deer tick. Infection may result in flu-like symptoms (e.g., malaise, fever, headache, fatigue, muscle pain) and the characteristic "bull’s eye" rash . As the disease progresses, it may cause arthritis and affect the heart and central nervous system. Lyme disease is treated with antibiotics. Incidence and Prevalence More than 16,000 cases of Lyme disease are reported each year in the United States. It is endemic throughout the wooded coastal regions of the Northeast, the Great Lakes, and the Pacific Northwest. In the Northeast and Great Lakes regions, the disease is more prevalent from May to August. In the Pacific Northwest, it is more prevalent from January to May. Causes and Risk Factors Lyme disease is caused by infection with Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria. In the Northeast and North Central United States, the deer tick (

Lyme disease is an infection caused by a corkscrew-shaped bacterium known as a spirochete ( Borrelia burgdorferi ). The disease is transmitted primarily by a deer tick (Ixodes scapularis.) Through a painless bite, the tick can transmit the disease to humans and animals. Lyme disease was first identified as a form of arthritis in 1975 in Lyme, Connecticut. The disease can not only cause arthritic problems, but can also lead to cardiac and neurological complications. Lyme disease has been called a great imitator as it can mimic a variety of illnesses. The severity of the symptoms of Lyme disease can vary from person to person. Where are ticks ( I. pacificus, I. scapularis, I. ricinus

    A subtle abnormality in the immune system may prevent certain people fromresponding favorably to a vaccine for lyme disease. RESEARCH NEWS.  
    http://www.hhmi.org/news/flavell2.html
    
    Extractions: The research tells us that in the human population there is a low frequency of a variant gene that prevented response to this vaccine protein, and therefore presumably to some infectious agents, said HHMI investigator Richard A. Flavell. A subtle abnormality in the immune system may prevent certain people from responding favorably to a vaccine for Lyme disease, report researchers from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute at Yale University School of Medicine. The discovery of the immune system abnormality, which otherwise exerts no ill effect on people who have it, underscores the importance of the multiple protective pathways that the immune system uses in fending off microorganisms. The studies also suggest several routes for improving the Lyme disease vaccine. The researchers, led by Erol Fikrig and Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigators

    Extractions: Lyme Disease/Brown Recluse Questionnaire If you have ever had Lyme disease and were initially diagnosed by a medical person as having a brown recluse spider bite, I am looking for your help. I am a researcher in the Department of Entomology at the University of California-Riverside. One of my biggest research areas is brown recluse spiders and the overdiagnoses of brown recluse bites throughout the United States. There are about 30 conditions that look similar to brown recluse bites but doctors often blame the spider even though no brown recluses live in their area. A diagnostic symptom of brown recluse bite is a bull's eye wound which is also sometimes expressed in Lyme disease. Because doctors quickly blame the spider, often Lyme disease is not diagnosed immediately. Therefore, as part of my research goal to educate the medical community about misdiagnosing Lyme disease as brown recluse bite, I am hoping to document cases of such so that I can publish the information in a medical journal. Therefore, this questionnaire is only for those people who have been diagnosed by a medical person as having Lyme disease who also received an initial diagnosis of brown recluse bite from a medical person
