Comment: | Lyme Disease is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, which is transmitted by the bite of a tick that usually lives on deer but can infest other animals. The disease is most widely recognised in the US but is also a problem in many parts of Europe, and has been recorded in every county of the UK.
Lyme Disease Action is a charity dedicated to the relief of persons suffering from Lyme Disease, other Borrelioses and associated diseases. They aim to raise public awareness through conferences and providing information, and they support scientific and medical education and research in topics related to these diseases. |
