This great history of Lyme-related research going back to the late 19th century was compiled by Dr Marie Kroun, Danish LLMD.
Unfortunately some of it is in German - if anyone out here is good at translating from German to English (ideally a native English speaker who knows German) perhaps they could help? I'm sure Dr Kroun would find that very helpful too.
Among the highlights is material showing how Lyme was transmitted **by blood** from patients with Acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans to animals. Many Lyme scientists today believe Lyme borrelia are not found in the blood, or only at the very earliest stages. However, the tools they have to search for it are only those based on alan Barbour's B31 strain and those very similar to it. It's now known that Lyme-causing Borrelia can be so genetically different from Bb that they do not get picked up by a Bb PCR (eg Borrelia lonestari, cause of "Masters Disease").
Happy reading!

The medical college library near my home had a computer program. If I gave them a link, the computer would translate it (as well as a computer could). One librarian there was very helpful when I was researching CFS about 12 years ago.
With a computer doing it, it might be a rough translation, but perhaps a start.
Any medical college librarian might have suggestions - well, I wouldn't pick one from Yale or other universities whose alum so publicly and vocally discount lyme.

just plug text in there and ask for German to English. it's not a good translation, but you can get the gist.
