The Global Search For Education: Ticks – Breaking the Transmission Cycle of Lyme Disease

Commentary: A novel method to control the spread of Lyme disease is being developed. Using a bait vaccine in mice, after one year, there was a drop in Lyme in the nymphal ticks by 23%, and after five years, the presence of Lyme dropped by 75%. I look forward to local and state health departments implementing this and other integrated strategies (such as tick-killing fungi) in highly endemic areas.
