Information In This Section Includes:
To include information about Lyme Borreliosis (as well as awareness efforts around the world) onsite, the information in this section about Lyme (History, Borrelia Species, Clinical Picture, Symptoms, {Co-infections is touched on very briefly, with a link to Lisa's "What is Lyme" site for further information}, Clinical disease in animals; Transmission & Maintenance) is directly copied from Karen Smith's (Co-founder GLiIO) Lyme Australia Recognition & Awareness website.
History and Borrelia Species
Subtitles and Information presented on this page:
Brief History of Lyme Disease
Borrelia Species by Continent
Other Borrelia spirochetes and Diseases


Lyme Clinical Picture ; Symptoms ; Co-infections
Subtitles and Information presented on this page:
Lyme Disease: A brief explanation regarding the bacteria that is responsible for Lyme disease. 
Clinical  Picture:  An explanation as to why the disease can present differently in each individual. 
Symptoms: Includes examples of early and disseminated symptoms.
Associations/Misdiagnosis of other Diseases: The ability of the bacteria to invade every organ in the body, and the widespread inflammation that they induce is an underlying reason that Lyme disease has been misdiagnosed as multiple diseases. 
Co-infections:  As Lyme is a vector borne disease - other infections may be transmitted at the same time.


Clinical Disease in Animals
Subtitles and Information presented on this page:
Animals: Apart from humans, dogs, cats, horses and cattle appear to be  the only animals that may develop a clinical illness due to a borrelia infection.

Transmission & Maintenance of Lyme
Subtitles and Information presented on this page: 
Controversial Transmission Methods:  A brief look at the controversial methods of Lyme disease transmission: This includes: blood sucking insects (other than ticks); Contact (urine passed) transmission ; and human to human transmission, including sexual and mother to baby (vertical).
Ticks  and Human Disease:  Discussion of the ticks role (and cycle) in human disease
