There are 2 parts, "The Great Imitator Part 1" and "The Great Imitator Part 2."

It's all about OspA and its ability to turn off the immune system.

"OspA is a fungal (mycoplasmal) antigen that turns off the immune system through various mechanisms. This allows common latent viruses of all kinds to become un-latent. The latently infected cells do not autokill as they should when the common latent viruses start replicating (the normal mechanism of immunity), and the fungal Pam3Cys antigen OspA, turns off antibody production against similar antigens."

OspA, by far is �The Greatest Imitator.�

Please check out her 2 parts and comment! I don't understand the technicalities, but if anyone is a Biology major here and can explain, I would appreciate it!
