I found this to be an interesting read for a couple reasons.
First, Jorge Benach, one of the authors, was on the Lyme scene virtually at the very beginning. He is one of the individuals who supplied Willy Burgdorfer with the ticks from Long Island that Burgdorfer found both a new strain of Borrelia that would be named for him, and also an unusual strain of rickettsia which somehow got buried for three decades or so.
Second, they actually employ the word "epidemic" when describing Lyme.
Third, this is a vector approach to tackling tick-borne diseases. I don't think they can make this work, but it's a nice thought, and who knows?
Moderators: I truncated the title - it's really long. If this is not good, please let me know and I will try to fix, or you can.
OR you can just delete since I cannot make these links work.
