Lyme disease is an infection caused by the bacteriaBorrelia burgdorferi. These bacteria are spread by the bite of blackleggedticks(also known as deer ticks).1Middlesex-London is an establishedRisk Area2for blacklegged ticks.

Map pinpoints Lyme disease risk areasHOLLY RAMER
There are now three areas in the two counties identified on Public Health Ontario’s updated Lyme Disease Map after black-legged ticks were found through drag sampling. The areas overlap each other and are all located on the western part of the counties near the Lake Huron shore, including...

Lyme disease is a complex multisystem disorder recognized on six continents that is epidemic in some parts of the world during spring, summer, and fall seasons. It is an infectious disease caused by a spirochete, B. burgdorferi, which is transmitted chiefly by I. dammini and pacificus ticks in...

we use several RNA-seq approaches to map RNA ends for the transcriptome of the spirocheteBorrelia burgdorferi– the etiological agent of Lyme disease. We identify complex gene arrangements and operons, untranslated regions and small RNAs. We predict intrinsic terminators and experimentally test examples...
