	Lyme Disease
		Lyme disease is spread by the bite of ticks of the genus Ixodes that are infected with Borrelia burgdorferi.
		For Lyme disease to exist in an area, at least three closely interrelated elements must be present in nature: the Lyme disease bacteria, ticks that can transmit them, and mammals (such as mice and deer) to provide food for the ticks in their various life stages.

		During the 1980s the disease incidence in both dogs and humans increased dramatically; Lyme disease is now the most common arthropod-borne disease of humans in the United States, and one of the most common in dogs.
		Lyme disease is caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, a corkscrew-shaped bacterium of the spirochete group.
		Dogs with recurrent episodes of Lyme disease, whether acquired from reinfestation with infected ticks or a relapse from an initial infection, are highly responsive to antibiotics given at the same doses as for a primary episode.

	Lyme Disease
		Lyme disease is an infection that's spread by Ixodes ticks (fl-legged or deer ticks in the eastern United States, and western fl-legged ticks in the west) that carry the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi.
		Lyme disease is the leading tick-borne disease in the United States, with more than 16,000 cases reported to the CDC in 1999, but it is not the only disease carried by deer ticks.
		The symptoms of early Lyme disease, called early localized stage, may include a red-ringed bull's-eye rash (known as erythema migrans), which appears either as a solid red expanding rash or blotch, or as a central red spot surrounded by clear skin that is ringed by an expanding red rash.

	Lyme Disease
		Lyme disease is spread by the bite of the tiny tick, usually no bigger than a pinhead.
		Lyme disease is caused when an Ixodes tick passes on the germ known as "Borrelia burgdorferi," while sucking blood from its victim.
		Even after the disease has progressed and antibodies are present, the tests may sometimes still be negative when the patient does have the disease (a result called a "false negative").

	Lyme disease - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lyme disease may be misdiagnosed as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), or other (mainly autoimmune and neurological) diseases, which leaves the infection untreated and allows it to further penetrate the organism.

		Lyme disease was first described in 1975 when an unusual outbreak of rheumatoid arthritis occurring in children was reported in Lyme, Connecticut.
		Today, Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne (transmitted by insects or arthropods) disease occurring in people and probably in dogs in the United States.
		A diagnosis of Lyme disease is usually made based upon a history of being in an endemic area, signs of arthritis and favorable response to treatment.

	Lyme Disease
		Lyme disease is a bacterial disease transmitted by infected ticks.
		Lyme disease is transmitted by the bite of an infected deer tick, which also is known as the fl-legged tick.
		Some people are not diagnosed with Lyme disease in its initial stages because early symptoms are similar to those of more common diseases, such as influenza or mononucleosis, and many infected persons do not recall a tick bite.

	Lyme Disease
		Lyme disease is an infection that is caused by the Borrelia burgdorferi bacterium, which is transmitted by the bite of the tiny deer tick.
		Lyme disease can be localized, meaning it has not yet spread through the bloodstream or lymph system, or disseminated, meaning the bacteria have spread through the body.
		The first sign of Lyme disease is usually a red spot, or rash, that develops around the site of the bite within 3 to 30 days of infection.

		In dogs, Lyme disease is a minor infection not nearly worthy of the attention it has received.
		Lyme disease in the dog is an infection for which over 90% of infected dogs will never get sick and the 5-10% that do get sick can be easily treated with a safe inexpensive course of antibiotics.

		Lyme Disease in dogs has been reported in every state but certain geographical areas are much more likely to harbor bacteria-carrying ticks than others.
		Of the hundreds of cases of canine Lyme Disease that I have seen, over 90 percent of canine patients were admitted with signs of limping (usually one foreleg), lymph node swelling in the affected limb, and a temperature of 103 degrees (101 to 102.5 degrees is normal).
		In humans Lyme Disease is defined as a "multi-system tick-borne disorder caused by the spirochete bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi." Since 1982, when the causative organism was positively identified, numbers of cases in humans have made Lyme Disease the number one tick-borne disease in the U.

		Lyme disease is an infection caused by the corkscrew-shaped bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi that are transmitted by the bite of deer ticks (Ixodes scapularis) and western fl-legged ticks (Ixodes pacificus).
		It encompasses both intramural and extramural research on animal models of disease; microbial physiology; molecular and cellular mechanisms of pathogenesis; mechanisms of protective immunity; vectors and disease transmission; efficacy of different modes of antibiotic therapy; and the development of more sensitive and reliable diagnostic tests for both early (acute) and late (chronic) Lyme disease.

		Most cases of Lyme disease can be treated successfully with a few weeks of antibiotics.
