Food for thought as you read through:
40% of ticks carry nematodes. How many, or what percent of Lyme patients become chronic and of those, how many are infected with worms?
Nematoden zijn draadachtige aaltjes.
Willy Burgdorfer stootte eerst op deze tijdens het bestuderen van de inhoud van teken.
Ook Eva Sapi noemt dit terwijl ze zoekende zijn naar borrelia
Het wordt minder vaak genoemd, tijdens onderzoeken wordt er gefocused op de borrelia burgdorferi.
Timeline:
1981: Dr Willy Burgdorfer studies ticks from Shelter Island, NY and discovers the spirochete that causes Lyme disease which is then named Borrelia burgdorferi, Bb.
* Burgdorfer also found nematodes in the ticks at that time. Nematodes are round worms, and are classified as Filaria. You may see the word "microfilaria," because some "worms" are microscopic.

2009-2010: Dr Eva Sapi, from the University of New Haven, Connecticut is doing research on ticks. So far, it appears that she has found worms in 40% of the ticks she has studied.
