TALK TITLE
Lyme disease: A growing phenomenon
ABSTRACT
Lyme Disease is the leading vector-borne illness in North America with an estimated 427,000 new cases in the USA alone. In terms of NIH research dollars, proportionally it accounts for less than 2% of funding given to West Nile Virus and is 7000% more prevalent than West Nile in the U.S. This talk will focus on prevention and current research efforts as well as some Korea specific information. There are multiple strains that are encountered in N. America, Europe, and Asia. Presented on behalf of the Global Lyme Alliance, the leading 501 (c)3 non-profit organization focused on research to find a lasting cure for Lyme disease and tick-borne illness.
