I researched each of the unwanted invaders, but my efforts quickly focused on Borrelia, the bacteria causing Lyme Disease. Lyme gets most of the headlines, so it must be the most significant factor in Russ’s case, right? (1,400 words) - [Engineered for Precision.

Vectors (e.g., fleas, ticks, lice, biting flies, etc.) play an important role in transmitting zoonotic infections. Individuals at high-risk of acquiring Bartonella infection include those who work or live with animals, or those with high exposure to fleas, ticks, lice and biting flies. Stealth infections such as bartonellosis are increasingly implicated in complex chronic disease syndromes, yet are extremely difficult to diagnose accurately.
