The medical community will have had to change their belief about how the spirochete is passed from the tick to its host based on a recently released medical report from researchers who collaborated from the University of Connecticut Health Center in Farmington, Connecticut:
- Star M. Dunham-Ems in the Department of Medicine;
- Melissa J. Caimano in the Department of Medicine;
- Charles W. Wolgemuth from the Department of Cell Biology and the Center for Cell Analysis and Modeling;
- Anamaria BalicDepartment of Craniofacial Sciences;
- Justin D. Radolf from the Department of Medicine and the Department of Genetics and Developmental Biology;
and Christian H. Eggers from the Department of Biomedical Sciences at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Connecticut ; and Utpal Pal from the Department of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Maryland and the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine in College Park, Maryland.
That makes eight more respected researchers who can argue previously held views with solid evidence. I can only imagine that this research will continue with natural progression to further enlighten falsely held views. (And you won’t see their names on the “Quacklist”) If you are interested in the actual report you can find it here at the Journal of Clinical Investigations.
Now for the bad news. (more…)
