Researchers at UMass Amherst have discovered a previously unrecognized strain of Rickettsia bacteria in ticks, associated with a milder form of spotted fever. This finding underscores the evolving landscape of tick-borne diseases in the Northeast.

Key Takeaways:

⚫️The newly identified Rickettsia strain causes a milder form of spotted fever, differing from the more severe R. rickettsii responsible for Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
⚫️Ticks carrying this strain were found in residential backyards, highlighting the risk of tick exposure even in suburban areas.
⚫️The discovery emphasizes the importance of ongoing surveillance and research to understand and mitigate tick-borne diseases.

Stay vigilant and protect yourself from tick bites:

⚫️Use EPA-approved insect repellents.
⚫️Wear long sleeves and pants when outdoors.
⚫️Perform tick checks after spending time in wooded or grassy areas

Scientists at Virginia Commonwealth University have just made a new discovery that could change how we fight Lyme disease.

They found a weak spot in the bacteria that causes Lyme, a tiny but powerful enzyme called lactate dehydrogenase (BbLDH). This enzyme helps the bacteria grow and survive in the body. Without it, the bacteria struggles to spread.

Why is this so big news? Because this enzyme could now be targeted. If we block it, we could stop Lyme disease in its tracks.

This breakthrough, published in the journal mBio, is a big step forward in the fight against a disease that affects thousands every year.

Exciting new research from Yale School of Medicine brings us closer to a diagnostic test and vaccine for tick-borne diseases. Using a breakthrough tool called IscREAM, scientists identified immune responses to 177 tick antigens. An mRNA vaccine targeting tick “cement” proteins showed promising results in guinea pigs. Experts believe an anti-tick vaccine could be available within the next 5–10 years. 🧬🦠

There are over 20 tickborne and mosquito-borne diseases found in the U.S. Location and daily habits of spending time outside, especially in wooded areas will put certain people at a higher risk for disease. Understanding your risk of vector-borne diseases can help you know when and where to expect ticks and mosquitoes. Visit the website below for information on specific geographic locations at higher risk along with types of diseases carried by mosquitoes and ticks.

New study, published in the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s Emerging Infectious Diseases journal, researchers found an immune system marker in the blood called interferon-alpha was elevated among people who had been treated for Lyme disease but had lingering symptoms despite the use of antibiotics. Interferon-a is one of the key signaling proteins the body makes to tell immune cells to fight off bacteria or viruses.

The study was small, including 79 people, a link between the higher interferon-a levels and the persistent Lyme disease symptoms was found but not that the immune marker was itself causing the lasting symptoms.

The new research suggests it's not Lyme disease itself that could cause long-lasting symptoms but the way the body reacts to the bacteria.
