Apr 29th, 2021 - In vivo diagnostic imaging of bacterial infections is currently reliant on targeting their metabolic pathways, an ineffective method to identify microbial species with low metabolic activity. Here we establish HS-198 as a small molecule-fluorescen...

Apr 29th, 2021 - Disrupting transmission of Borrelia burgdorferi (B. burgdorferi ) from infected ticks to humans is one strategy to prevent the significant morbidity from Lyme disease. We have previously shown that an anti-OspA human monoclonal antibody, 2217, pre...

Apr 29th, 2021 - The incidence of tickborne diseases in the United States is increasing; reported cases more than doubled from >22,000 in 2004 to >48,000 in 2016 (1). Ticks are responsible for approximately 95% of all locally acquired vectorborne diseases reported...

Apr 22nd, 2021 - ObjectivesSerodiagnosis of Lyme borreliosis (LB) comes with several drawbacks, among which limited sensitivity in early disease. This study assesses the sensitivity and specificity of the novel BioPlex 2200 Lyme IgG & Lyme IgM assays. It also asse...

Feb 14th, 2021 - We describe a patient with fever and myalgia who did not have COVID-19 but instead had Lyme disease. We propose that the co-occurrence of COVID-19 and Lyme disease during the spring of 2020 resulted in a delayed diagnosis of Lyme disease due to CO...
