Some surprising new statistics about Lyme disease from @CDCgov: Now there's an estimate of close to 500,000 new cases annually, in the US alone - much more than we thought before. Here's to hoping that our research can make a difference! wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/27…

As biologists, we care deeply for all living things, and yearn for the wellbeing of species around the world. How refreshing it is to see how people have come together to protect threatened wildlife in their communities! cnn.com/2020/11/17/americas/…

Mice lacking PGLYRP1 had an increased B.b. "spirochete burden in the heart and joints, along with splenomegaly. Mice lacking PGLYRP1 also showed signs of immune dysregulation, including lower serum IgG levels and higher levels of IFNγ, CXCL9, and CXCL10." #LymeDisease

EXCELLENT talk by @ImmunoFever on the involvement SIRPa & CD-47 cells in helping Borrelia Burgdorferi's evade the immune system. Must watch! 👇

Ever had to give a talk a few minutes after waking up because you didn't realise how early it was? It happens to the best of us, doesn't it Michal @ImmunoFever? 😂😂
Michal Tal's talk on immune clearance of pathogens is finally online!

Check out our new paper in @CellMicrobiol, where we investigate an important structure (and related protein) in the tick gut. The results of our study show some promising results that can hopefully be applied to novel Lyme disease interventions.

DNA is the blueprint of life - but environmental factors can affect how DNA is differentially expressed within individuals! Our new review from @TrendsGenetics delves into the concept of epigenetics as it relates to ticks, vector biology, & Lyme disease: cell.com/trends/genetics/ful…

Ticks make life hard for many of us – but as researchers in infectious diseases, we love being able to visualize them so closely! A fluorescent microscopic look into tick molecular components is a first step towards novel prevention strategies against Lyme disease!!
