: I am doing a Biology project on different tick-born diseases and how
they work. I would like any material available on this subject and would
appreciate the info as soon as possible. Thank you.

Dear Carrie:

You have chosen a very interesting subject for your project. The group of tick-borne disease includes several exotic/interesting/new disease that can be a challenge diagnostically and therapeutically to the neurologist, infectious disease specialist and the microbiologist. The group includes Lyme disease, Ehrlichiosis, arboviral encephalitis, some rickettsial disease, and babesiosis, to name a few. The ideal way to work on the project would be to check out an authoritative textbook on infectious diseases (Mandell et al., for instance) first, and thereafter to further research specific topics using medline (at the national library of medicine-www.nih.nlm.gov, I think, or at the medhelp site). You could finally go through a few selected reviews or original publications which you would find in a hospital library.
Good luck with your project!
