[edit] Refs
it may be a problem with the ref's. i am going to change them to weblinks and see if it works
Nope, no dice. damn the internet gods for this one
In case anyone is interested in this painfully boring subject, here are the links to the cited journal articles:
1.) Byram
2.) Fikrig
3.) Girchick
I dont know if they are public, I access them through a library account. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Frederickmercury (talk • contribs) 30 July 2006.
[edit] Some mistakes
First of all, the one who wrote this article forgot to mention that this is a GRAM NEGATIVE bacteria. Second, after you call it a bacteria, you call it an "obligate parasite". Pathogenic bacterias are BY THIER DEFINITION parsitic microorganisms. Another thing, you said that Borrelia burgdorferi " is incapable of surviving outside of a host", but this is wrong, as Borelias can be easyly grown on the "Kelly medium" read here or on any other mediums enriched with somatic cells (limfoid, epitelial, etc.). PS: Sorry for my grammar mistakes, but enlgish is not my native tongue.--Diurpaneu 14:54, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- If you see something wrong in the article, be bold and fix it yourself. That's why the edit button's there. :) As for your grammar mistakes, I've seen a lot worse from people whose native language is English. Pyrospirit Flames Fire 15:41, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

- I tried to. But when I press "Save page" it loads for around 5 minutes, then gives me some error. I`ll try again later.--Diurpaneu 16:11, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- Ok, I edited the page. It works now :) I changed that phrase and changed the referance, and also added that it`s a Gram negative bacteria. Diurpaneu 17:47, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] CDC and Lyme disease
"and because the CDC continues to insist that tick bites are the cause, then mainstream medicine remains skeptical. Some believe that the cyst form can lay dormant for months or years, and is easily missed in typical blood tests, and why normal cultures fail."
What is it that the CDC continues to insist? I'm pretty sure they've accepted that Lyme disease exists and is caused by Borrelia. ZZYZX 06:55, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Merging into Lyme_disease_microbiology
User:Fredweis deleted most of the content and said it was "replaced" with Lyme_disease_microbiology (which had existed before), but much of the content never made it over to the other page. I'll fix that now. 75.41.71.106 15:09, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
