Researchers said this could enable more accurate diagnostic tests and treatments tailored to the bacteria causing each patient’s illness.
“By understanding how these bacteria evolve and exchange genetic material, we’re better equipped to monitor their spread and respond to their ability to cause disease in humans,” said Qiu, the corresponding author of the study.
The study was published in mBio, the flagship journal of the American Society for Microbiology.
Researchers said the genetic information uncovered in the study may help scientists develop more effective vaccines against Lyme disease."

Thanks, Ann.

They are trying to cover their butts because they made it in a lab on plumb island and in a lab in Mammoth cave national Park.
They used the poor people of KY in their trials.
I just went there on a vacation and got the full test on me. MADDOG

Such evil webs "we" weave.

These are scientists seeking to know more about how many kinds of Lyme disease bacteria there are and how they infect and spread, no matter where they came from.

Yes, it's been around forever. But something happened in the 70's at Plum Island and after that there was an explosion that traveled from coast to coast.
Testing and treatment are needed from this info. They can forget their vaccine failures bs.

I think it happened at Plum Island between 1954-1956 when Erich Traub, a tick researcher from Germany, was brought over after WW2. Polly Murray wrote a book, "The Widening Circle," saying her family got sick in the late 1950s. She and her friend called it into Yale in the 70s.
I also saw online that all military bases were rated for tick infection rate between 1983-1996, meaning this got around! Birds, maybe? I was bitten in 1981 on my foot in Big Sur, CA.

And now they can do it to a virus.And did.

Developing better vaccines for Lyme disease would be such a game-changer.
