2530:. I'm more than a little disturbed by some of the editing that I have been seeing here. I recognize there's a controversy here, and that both sides must be presented fairly. The general practice at Knowledge (XXG) is to consider that the official position of qualified government agencies as likely to represent the consensus, absent a clear agreement in the pertinent profession that they are likely to be wrong. We also do not go into extensive clinical detail in presenting the primary results of research studies, but give the conclusions as they are discussed by authoritative review sources. Not all peer-reviewed sources are equal, and the leading medical review journals and general journals of established importance have much greater weight as a reliable source than journals connected with a particular organisation that represents only a portion of specialists. We also strongly discount conspiracy theories as likely to be fringe, and treat them rather briefly, giving a reference or two for those who may want to inquire further, unless of course these theories seem to be substantially discussed by 3rd party independent reliable published sources, print or online (but not blogs or press releases), where "independent" means independent of those who have promulgated them. But in all this, we do not attempt to hide that there is a controversy, and we do not attempt to decide which side is right. We present the available material in terms that educated general readers can understand, and expect that they will draw conclusions for themselves. At this point I am confining myself to general principles, and have no immediate intention to do any editing myself, at least not just right now. There seem to be various accusations of COI, & personally, what I find helps such situations is a frank statement of what they are by the people involved, not by their opponents--though of course this is not required -- & any attempt to insert the names of pseudonymous editors is very strongly against policy. For the record, I'm acting as an editor, not an admin. I am doing one admin action right now, though--there seems to have been a burst of ip vandalism, and I'm semi-protecting against its continuation. I don't think it will inhibit discussion. 806:"The denial, by the United Kingdom government during a parliamentary debate THIS REFERENCE POINTS TO A WEBSITE IDENTIFYING LYME DISEASE RESEARCHERS IN THE UK, that research into Lyme disease had taken place during a time when the UK's top biowarfare facility Porton Down was indeed studying it, further stoked this controversy. The work at Porton Down has since been confirmed, being noted for example, by the British delegation to an international conference on bioterrorism . THIS WEBSITE ONLY MENTIONS LYME DISEASE IN A SECTION DEALING WITH GIS WORK WHICH IS SEEKING TO MODEL IN COMPUTER PROGRAMS THE POSSIBLE RISK FOR VECTOR-BORNE DISEASE. THE QUOTE FROM THE REFERENCE IS, “An example of a predictive modelling study being carried out at HPA Porton Down relates to the sheep tick, which can transmit a range of vector-borne diseases, including Congo Crimean Haemorrhagic Fever, Lyme Fever, ehrlichiosis, babesiosis and tick-borne encephalitis.” THIS REFERENCE IS MISREPRESENTED IN THE WIKIPEDIA ARTICLE TEXT IN A MANNER THAT IMPLIES THAT THE AUTHOR MEANS TO SKEW THE READERS INTERPRETATION INTENTIONALLY. 793:"In recent years prominent American Lyme researchers of the camp that denies, or belittles the importance of, Lyme as a chronic neurological infectious disease have received substantial federal government funding for BIODEFENSE research (WELL-KNOWN AS ONE OF THE ONLY FORMS OF FUNDING FOR INFECTIOUS DISEASE RESEARCH). For example, Alan Barbour, credited with first culturing the Lyme bacteria, and whose B31 strain became the basis of all subsequent diagnostic tests for the disease, was recently placed in charge of the multi-million dollar new BIODEFENSE research center at UCI. Similarly, Jorge Benach, whose team collected the batch of ticks from which Barbour's strain was isolated, was chosen in 2004 as recipient for a $ 3 million BIODEFENSE research grant. And Mark Klempner, author of a famous study contending that persisting symptoms in Lyme patients treated with antibiotics were unlikely due to chronic infection, was recently placed in charge of the 1.6 billion-dollar NATIONAL BIOCONTAINMENT LABORATORY complex at Boston University." 800:"The unearthing, in recent years, of a number of documents referring to the study of Lyme disease in BSL-4 (Biosafety Level 4) labs, the very highest level of biocontainment which is generally reserved for airborne biowarfare organisms such as weaponised anthrax, has only served to stoke suspicion further. (An example of one such piece of evidence is the section on biocontainment in a 2003 letter from the director of a California Health Department concerning a bid for a BIODEFENSE grant." THIS LETTER CLEARLY IS JUST STATING BROADLY WHAT RESEARCH AT THE NEW REGIONAL LABORATORY WILL HELP RESEARCHERS TO PREVENT. IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT THIS STATEMENT WAS MADE IMMEDIATELY AFTER A COMMENT ABOUT THE BSL-4 LABORATORY. THESE NEW CENTERS ARE BEING CREATED BOTH TO EXPAND THE NUMBER OF PLACES WHERE BSL-3 AND BSL-4 AGENTS CAN BE WORKED ON, AS WELL AS, OFFER CENTERS THAT FACILITATE COLLABORATION. 1346:

important figures in Lyme disease science – Mark Klempner (whose 2001 paper is consistently used by doctors and insurance companies as the basis for denial of treatment for chronic Lyme); Alan Barbour, considered co-discoverer of the causative agent of Lyme; Allen Steere, so-called discoverer of the disease in the 1970’s and the leading proponent of “Steere camp” thought; and Jorge Benach. In addition one reference led to an article I wrote called “Lyme Disease is a Biowarfare Issue”. While you may not be happy at me referencing my own article, nevertheless that article contains several more references supporting the same point – ie that a disproportionate number of the most important Steere camp Lyme researchers have a background in biowarfare. They are all solid references and can be found at the website of NY radio presenter Dave Emory on

1628:"When the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) issued new guidelines for Lyme diagnosis in 2006, recommending actual evidence of Lyme before diagnosis and treatment, the ILADS and allied chronic Lyme advocacy organizations quickly condemned the guidelines. Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, who had received awards from chronic Lyme advocacy groups…began a probe into the IDSA panel responsible for the guidelines, putatively on anti-trust grounds. ...Although Blumenthal alleged conflicts of interest on the part of IDSA, he declined to name the allegedly conflicted panelists or detail what he considered their conflict to be. The IDSA panel responded by stating they had been wrongly "accused of profiting financially by recommending to not treat with unnecessary and prolonged courses of antibiotics,"..." 788:

fact that they employ, "unpublished facts, arguments, speculation, and ideas; and contain unpublished analysis or synthesis of published material that serves to advance a single position". Many references are lacking and some that are included are misrepresented. The term “biodefense” has erroneously been replaced by “bioweapons” intentionally implying some secret sinister plot associated with the research. The tex leads the uninformed reader to believe that government funding is menacing and clandestine, when NIH (National Institutes of Health) grants are nearly the only source of funds for biomedical research. Inclusion of these paragraphs do a disservice to the readers by presenting propaganda, conspiracy suggestions bordering on ridiculous, and intentional errors as fact. See specific comments below in CAPITAL letters

3094:, I think we can handle it in one article. The controversy article will also be extremely difficult to maintain in terms of encyclopedic quality and NPOV, based on what I've seen of editing issues here recently. I agree about cutting down the refs and have made a start; there are also a number of duplicate refs (multiple cites to the same paper) which can be consolidated. In general terms, I think medical articles are best served with an overview grounded in reliable reviews, textbooks, expert bodies, etc, with support from selected primary journal articles. I'm open to seeing some of the more insistent editors produce actual reliable sources on the biowarfare angle, but so far all I've seen there is edit-warring and accusations of censorship, which is disheartening. 803:"Mark Klempner, Alan Barbour, Allen Steere, David Dennis, Edward McSweegan, Philip Baker, Captain Paul Mead and many others who have had a profound influence on Lyme disease diagnostic and treatment policy have a history of association with BIODEFENSE research in the past(REFERENCE???), and/or with the Epidemic Intelligence Service, founded in the 1950's as an elite biowarfare think tank." THE WAY THIS IS STATED LEADS THE READER TO THINK THAT THE EIS WAS FORMED TO MAKE WEAPONS. INSTEAD IT WAS CREATED AFTER THE KOREAN WAR BROUGHT THE THREAT OF BIOLOGICAL WARFARE TO THE ATTENTION OF THE UNITED STATES. AS A RESULT, CDC'S EPIDEMIC INTELLIGENCE SERVICE (EIS) TRAINING PROGRAM WAS STARTED TO IMPROVE OUR ABILITY TO DETECT AND IDENTIFY OUTBREAKS OF INFECTIOUS DISEASE. 797:

RECENTLY TO COVER THE EMERGING INFECTIOUS DISEASE AND DEFENSE AGAINST POSSIBLE BIOLOGICAL ATTACK FIELDS – MOSTLY IN AN EFFORT TO HELP BOOST FUNDING IN INFECTIOUS DISEASE RESEARCH, AN AREA THAT HAS BEEN HURTING LATELY DUE TO BUDGET CUTS. “The selection of leading Lyme researchers for such senior posts in BIODEFENSE research, coupled with the fact that many of them have a long history of such work (REFERENCE????), which pre-dates the expansion of this field after the 2001 anthrax attacks, has fuelled accusations that Lyme disease is intimately connected with biological warfare science (REFERENCE???), and that military objectives have influenced these scientists to obfuscate the facts surrounding this disease, to the detriment of patients(REFERENCE???).”

3073:

it turns out there's actually any material. The main remaining thing is to edit some of the medical research material at the end and reduce the number of references--they tend to accumulate unnecessarily because the non-consensus side adds whatever it can find, and the mainstream retaliates in kind. Lead references and key recent reviews are sufficient--but not everyone agrees with my view here, for I'd make this objection to a lot of the biology and medicine articles--I think the referencing of them reflects to much the style of a science graduate textbook, not a general encyclopedia. Great things, good science and medical texttbooks with full referencing, but i dont see what the purpose at Knowledge (XXG).

1716:"ACADEMIC AND PEER-REVIEWED PUBLICATIONS ARE HIGHLY VALUED AND USUALLY THE MOST RELIABLE SOURCES IN AREAS WHERE THEY ARE AVAILABLE, SUCH AS HISTORY, MEDICINE AND SCIENCE, ALTHOUGH SOME MATERIAL MAY BE OUTDATED BY MORE RECENT RESEARCH, OR CONTROVERSIAL IN THE SENSE THAT THERE ARE ALTERNATIVE THEORIES. MATERIAL FROM RELIABLE NON-ACADEMIC SOURCES MAY ALSO BE USED IN THESE AREAS, PARTICULARLY IF THEY ARE RESPECTED MAINSTREAM PUBLICATIONS. WIKIPEDIA ARTICLES SHOULD STRIVE TO COVER ALL MAJOR AND SIGNIFICANT-MINORITY SCHOLARLY INTERPRETATIONS ON TOPICS FOR WHICH SCHOLARLY SOURCES EXIST, AND ALL MAJOR AND SIGNIFICANT-MINORITY VIEWS THAT HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED IN OTHER RELIABLE SOURCES..." 519:

vaccine is only useful for a short time (perhaps less than a few weeks) after administration. Secondly, because OspA is rapidly downregulated once inside a human host, it would not be useful for determining if there is a current infection in an animal host. (ref: Sherris 4ed. pp434-435). The only caveat to this, is that Anti-OspA antibodies do have some cross reactivity to human HLAs. Current guidelines say that the presence of EM is diagnostic, but can be followed up with IgM blot(2of3 presumptive) followed by a IgG blot(5of10 diagnostic), but the proteins that show up on these tests are also proteins found in other bacteria. I hope that helps a little.

1943:

expensive antibiotics with no evidence they have an infection and no evidence the antibiotics work if they did. And they want insurance companies to pay for them. Talk about a conflict of interest! I have no idea if chronic lyme is real or not and I really don't care too much except for the people who suffer from symptoms. I do know the medical community is almost unanimous on chronic lyme and the literature has gotten more clear in the past year, and that's what counts by Knowledge (XXG). I re wrote the major ILADS slant to reflect consensus in science and medicine. You can say there is evenly divided opinion, doesn't make it so.

4105:

relapses as many clinicians and patients claim. But I think that - whatever Lymenet or others might try to use the information for - the subsequent steps would not be justified (e.g. Alzeimers caused by Lyme etc etc.). We do however need to be on the lookout for things which have been overlooked in the main picture that CDC, IDSA etc. would put across. We are scientists, and keeping a fairly open mind is a good thing, as I have found again and again in my own work. I have by the way seen some newer references (in proper academic journals) to these topics which I will add in as citations over the next few weeks. --

3107:

section presenting both points of view on the advisability of long-term antibiotic treatment and replaced it with one emphasising the views of the Steere camp as expressed by the 2006 IDSA Lyme committee, whilst deleting information pointing out that IDSA has now been forced to create a new committee whose members will be vetted for financial conflicts of interest. This occurred following an unprecedented investigation by the Attorney General in Connecticut, a hyperendemic Lyme disease area, who found flagrant conflict of interest among the IDSA panel members.

1440:

biological warfare scientists from the notorious Japanese Unit 731 from prosecution for crimes against humanity. Their knowledge and expertise was recruited for American use, and as a result most of their research came under the aegis of (classified) American military science. So, unless you happen to be an American or Japanese biowarfare scientist yourself , with access to the relevant classified material, you are not in a position to say exactly which Borrelia species were studied, or not studied, by the Japanese.

1401:

indicates the opposite. Allen Steere, for example, downplayed the significance of his EIS membership during the 1970’s, and told the media that he only joined to dodge the Vietnam draft. Yet three decades later, he was still deeply involved enough to be helping to organise an EIS gala event. The militarily sensitive nature of the work makes it highly unlikely that scientists could simply leave this elite infectious disease unit, cut off all ties, and not retain any obligations to their senior officers within it.

3115:

dismissed from his post. If we are going to include these issues, in the name of balance, Mast Cell should have mentioned that. In addition there are innumerable examples of doctors and researchers on our side of the dispute being harassed and persecuted because they do not support an arbitrary three-week cut-off in antibiotic treatment, regardless of the patient's condition, or do not accept the validity of serology tests whose validity has been called into question by umpteen peer-reviewed studies.

2802:" Taking a collection of facts and creating a unified theory therefrom is at the heart of synthesis, which is not appropriate for WP. If someone else has done this synthesis for us verifiably in an independent source, this material may be fit for inclusion in WP. If, furthermore, it is considered of mainstream importance and is not just a push from the fringe, then it may merit a section. If not, it might belong in an article about the person to whom it is pertinent, or might not belong here at all. 2773:

Biopeptides Inc, a biotech firm handsomely funded by the US federal government. He is also one of the small group of authors of the IDSA 2006 Lyme guidelines, covered extensively in the article. The Guidelines are hotly in dispute and were most recently condemned by Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal for violating conflict-of-interest principles. IDSA has now promised to review them using a new panel which will be subject to vetting for financial conflcit of interest.

1241:

possess very strong past and/or current links with research into biological weapons. Given that these same scientists characterise Lyme as an "easily-cured" somewhat trivial disease, it is remarkable that leading biowarfare scientists have devoted, and continue to devote, so much time to studying it. All these issues are highly relevant to the discussion and explain neatly why there is a controversy regarding the "Steere camp" of Lyme scientists' links with biowarfare research.

1448:

AIDS was not identified until the 80’s. It makes no sense. Clearly in studying a new organism scientists would look at those organisms biologically closest to it. And in fact Lyme researchers often cast their net even wider than Borrelia genus, when studying Lyme. Researchers frequently refer to the characteristics of the spirochetes in general, obviously a much wider grouping which includes the agents of syphilis, gingival infections, Weil’s disease, and so on.

2410:

other advocacy groups have been completely expunged from the article, except for single sentences in the lead and the Controversy section that only state that they disagree with the medical establishment. (ILADS is not even mentioned in the article anymore.) Their scientific viewpoints are taken seriously enough that they were recently summarized in a article written by past ILADS president Raphael Stricker in the IDSA journal ‘Clinical Infectious Diseases’

2906:"Attorney Michael Carroll published a book in which he claimed that Lyme disease and other health problems were the result of poor upkeep at the Plum Island Biohazard Facility. Carroll admitted that he had no direct evidence of the book's claims, but that he simply 'connected the dots'. Lyme disease researchers discount Carroll's claims, on the basis of a lack of evidence as well as the fact that Lyme disease was never actually studied at Plum Island." 1452:

group, altogether. (Again, see www.lyme-rage.info/bwsept06.html for details and references.) This lends weight to those who believe that Lyme should be seen above all as a “borreliosis”, much like other borrelioses – serious, multi-system in nature, capable of infecting the nervous system, and of “persistence in the eye and brain”, as military doctor Jay Sanford wrote in the 1970’s – another point you, Nighthawk J, removed from the Lyme article.

31: 2363:

the controversy should not be featured here, because it should. This is also not to say that the proponents are wrong; they may be right. However, given WP policies (particularly WP:UNDUE), the controversy should really be explained concisely here. The controversy page is far from concise, and aspects such as the large table comparing the medical view with the advocates' view in a line-by-line fashion should be cut entirely.

4638:

footnote is to be deleted and you gave no valid reason for this? Who gives you the authority to decide this? It is you who seem to want to provoke an edit war through vandalizing small, but valid scientific contributions. I have no desire for a draining edit war... Several of us want this footnote in here.. why are you so opposed? Now I want to work with you... but if you are going to get unprofessional on me...

4410:. Such a situation is currently taking place here, and the semi-protection of the article, which prevents IP's and brand-new accounts from editing, is part of Knowledge (XXG)'s mechanism for dealing with a coordinated attempt to warp the neutrality of the encyclopedia to advance an agenda. The above suggestions are good ones; post your suggested changes to the article on this talk page, and they'll be discussed. 4591:, it is inappropriate to say that because some politicians have responded to their constituents' requests/complaints, their comments regarding Lyme disease are somehow equal to medical consensus. It is also inappropriate to threaten to keep introducing text until other editors acquiesce to some demand or another. That is called "edit warring" and will not result in the material staying in the article. 1417:

top-level work. While with the EIS, Lyme “discoverer” Allen Steere studied Aspergillus flavus, the fungus that produces deadly biowar agent aflatoxin, of which, according to UNSCOM, Saddam Hussein stockpiled huge quantities prior to the first Gulf War.

However, the major figures in the Lyme wars have never mentioned anything (to the best of my knowledge) about connections of Lyme to biodefense. For these reasons, inclusion of such a lengthy description of the biodefense issue appears to violate

1262:] of mine you are referring to. You may be referring to someone else’s edits, probably Charanti’s, who in my opinion was able to restore the section to a NPOV tone before your recent edits. Regardless of who performed the edits that you disagree with, I have problems with the new version of the passage. I won’t repeat Charanti’s concerns, which are detailed above under 1061:

Among districts, high seroprevalences were observed in Fontainebleau and Rambouillet; two sites of high risk for Lyme borreliosis. However, clinical prevalence of the disease is very low. During the investigation no active Lyme borreliosis was observed. Thus, asymptomatic infection predominates. Borrelia burgdorferi - Ile de France - Ixodes ricinus - Seroprevalence

2386:. At that point, if the section is large, unwieldy, and dense, it can be spun out to the "controversy" fork. Trying to improve the two articles in parallel is probably going to be an exercise in futility, and the only way to know for sure if a spinout article is warranted is to fix up the controversy section to Knowledge (XXG)'s standards and see what we've got. 2904:(Tim, it does mention Lyme briefly in the second paragraph - I missed it too on the first read). The proposed text grossly misrepresents what the source actually says, which is probably what got the alarm bells ringing (well, that and the meatpuppetry epidemic). It's a book review from CNN Showbiz. The most that could be said using that source is: 2675:. Specifically, you are alleging that a specific researcher threatened you with death. If this is the case, then by all means pursue the appropriate legal recourse, but making such an unsubstantiated and unsubstantiatable allegation on Knowledge (XXG) is a quick way to get your account blocked from editing. I'm going to ask you to remove it. 2972:) 22:11, 10 July 2008 (UTC) Also, one other thing- origin of Lyme disease is not what anyone is claiming, I think that is misleading- simply the origin of the current outbreak. Also, as far as use of the word epidemic, perhaps that is not strictly correct usage, sorry about that- but if you lived in New England, you might concur. 2167:“Untreated, the rash persists for 2 to 3 weeks, but the duration may EVEN LAST 14 MONTHS (caps mine}. Eighty percent of patients may have only one episode of erythema migrans, while 20% may have recurrent episodes. Multiple lesions may occur in 40% of patients and may be an important marker for hematogenous dissemination…” 3119:

By all means, expand or edit my few sentences, but I think that something mentioning this deserves to be on there.

We have waited for some time for discussion on this section. As no opposition has been encountered I have begun trimming the section. I began by removing the more slanted and unsupported parts. I still believe that the second "controversy" section should just be removed, perhaps one or two sentences

This article is one of the most egregious violations of NPOV because it has thus far almost completely ignored patient groups and the Attorney General of Connecticut, who have stated clearly that they believe there is evidence of a financial, moral and research conflict of interest with respect to

FACT: The connection between biowarfare budgets and Lyme researchers is well established in numerous online and published media reports on BSL-3 and BSL-4 labs. The thesis is also published in a well known book, Lab 257, and in the the article, "Lyme is a Biowarfare Issue" by Lyme activist Elena

Agree with Neparis. The "overview" as it is now, is a biology reference. There is no encyclopedic general introduction or summary. If kilobytes are the standard of article length than obviously something is very wrong with the standards. Are we squeezing articles so they fit better an sellable CDs?

This could be moved to the Controversy page as long as the US Army footnote remains. It is not in line with Knowledge (XXG) policy of NPOV.... to delete this official US government footnote for information that is in dispute-- you need to provide better justification as to why the information is

I can see very clear evidence that the balanced contributions are being consistently removed in favour of one-sided material that supports the IDSA poit of view. I don't know how to edit this material as I have just joined wikipedia but I am shocked for the blatant disregard for good science on the

The first one claims that deer don't give Lyme disease back to ticks, and are therefore "dilution hosts". The above text is largely copyvio, by the way. The authors note that if deer are reduced on a very local scale, the ticks will wander around, and feed on rodents, behaviors conducive to disease

3637:

For example, in the US, it is suggested that by reducing the deer population back to healthy levels of 8 to 10 per square mile (from the current levels of 60 or more deer per square mile in the areas of the country with the highest Lyme disease rates), the tick numbers can be brought down to levels

The Blumenthal judgement, with all its criticism of IDSA for excluding dissenting scientific opinion, is totally

Shine-a-lite (Elena Cook), if you look at the recent reviews of Lyme disease in high-quality journals (in NEJM or Lancet, for example) you will see that "erythema chronicum migrans" is not used. In fact the term “erythema migrans” is used to describe the rash in both the IDSA and ILADS guidelines.

To say that WW2 biowarfare experimentation with relapsing fever borrelia is irrelevant to Lyme borrelia because the latter only become identified to civilian medicine in the 1980’s is like saying that knowledge on retroviruses acquired prior to the 80’s should be ignored by AIDS scientists, because

You state that Lyme borrelia were “not discovered until decades later”. Several manifestations of Lyme disease , for example ACA, have been recognised since the late nineteenth century. Therefore, in theory, Lyme borrelia organisms could have been isolated for study long before even WW2. Biowarfare

The controversy section contains large sections of text that are far from impartial if not factually incorrect. The paragraphs quoted below (#3-7) should be removed, as they are not neutral and irresponsible. As mentioned above, these paragraphs are in violation of Knowledge (XXG) policy due to the

I was surprised to see that my link to Rubel's careful academic literature compilation on the evidence for spirochetes persisting in vivo in humans and animal models for Lyme was deleted. This report meets the academic criteria expected and deserves to be put 'out there'. It is unfortunate that we

That said, let’s deal with the issues. This debate has been very long, and it would be unreasonable to expect people, especially Lyme patients, so many of whom suffer cognitive impairment, to concentrate on dozens of issues at once. I will therefore reply, for now, only to the points in your above

It may be interesting to note that according to some studies, only a small percentage of people who get infected (or are at least tested positive for antibodies to the bacteria) do not seem to get any signs of Lyme disease (including myself), and that infection may thus be much more prevalent than

OK, perhaps I went too far with the POV and heading. I need to read the article again and readdress this when I have a chance. You might also want to attribute the claim that Lyme disease was never studied on the island. However, please don't lock the talk page, that seems extreme. Also, does

The fact that someone of the standing of Ct. Attorney General alleged financial conflict of interest, coupled with the fact that the IDSA responded by agreeing to set up a brand new panel to review the original guidelines, is an indication that financial conflict of interest was clearly present.

ILADS also advocates for insurance companies to pay their members to administer long-term antibiotic treatments, despite a complete lack of evidence of efficacy." 1568:

While those in the Steere camp generally claim, publicly anyway, that existing serology can rule out Lyme, privately they hold patents in which they explicitly state that the genetic material, technique etc being patented is intended to address the problem of the ***currently unreliable tests***.

In view of the above, your deletion of my information about Plum island and Erich Traub is misplaced too. The fact that a study indicated the presence of one strain of Borrelia burgdorferi in the US, long before Nazi bioweaponeer Traub was involved with tick research on Plum Island, does not mean

1102:

Interesting point, but it must be pointed out that not all ticks are infected; that there are about 3 dozen Borrelia species, and only about 1/3 of these are known to be pathogenic; and that each pathogenic species may have varieties with various degrees of virulence. And symptomatology might not

I do not agree that there is not a notable scientific controversy in addition to the political one. I agree that the views of ILADS should not be given equal weight as those of the IDSA, AAN, CDC, etc, but they should be given 'some' weight. I am bothered that the scientific views of ILADS and

Finally, for some years it has been known that Lyme could be caused by many strains of borrelia other than B. burgdorferi. Recent research has shown that there are Borrelia which cause an illness identical to Lyme, which are genetically closer to Relapsing fever borrelia, than to the burgdorferi

1400:

Incidentally, your word “former” to describe EIS officers is misplaced. Where is the evidence that those Lyme researchers who are publicly known to have been trained by EIS have “left” and no longer retain any links, obligations or responsibilities to it? Instead, common sense, and the evidence,

So, as I have said, this is a ***small, elite force***. If Lyme was truly “hard-to-catch”, “easily-cured” etc, it would be remarkable that even one member of such an elite force would want to specialise in it, much less many. Do the world’s most highly skilled surgeons spend their time removing

214:

The depth and coverage of this article overall seems about right to me; it is also very well referenced with over 170 references. Many subjects in medicine are always going to be large and complicated, especially the controversial ones such as Lyme

3411:

The core of my sentiment is this: this is a topic that has entered the medical mainstream. There are dissenting views, but these are of low medical importance. They are important enough to be mentioned, but not important enough to be played off as

2376:

I guess I'm on the fence. I agree with Antelan that most expert bodies are in agreement about the lack of effectiveness of long-term antibiotics and so forth. On the other hand, the political controversy is real and notable, with articles in the

I'm used to reading medical articles, and used to reading about Lyme, but that section is still a bit hard to get through (in terms of jargon and lingo), even after I did some linking. A bit of work to make it more lay friendly might help :-)

Most cases of Lyme don't answer to your characterisation. There are a lot of people with vague symptoms who will eventually have a false-positive test result to some poorly-indicated unreliable test. "Specialists" are the worst in this regard.

The debate regarding the use of the word "biodefense" rather than "biowarfare" is a non-issue, as most of the reearch is acknowledged to have dual-purpose potential, ie it could be used both to develop bioweapons and to defend against them.

So clearly, the Lyme researchers’ involvement with the EIS or “biodefense” was never limited to “basic research of any microbe” potentially useful in war, as you say, but instead included some of the most deadly agents known to mankind.

If you didn't mean the North America, you shouldn't have written North America. As a personal comment, the extreme genetic diversity of these pathogens is in my eyes (OR I know) the strongest argument against this conspiracy theory (eg

So, I’m not clear what you are trying to say. Are you saying that you think the proportion of Steere camp Lyme researchers with a background in the EIS is very small? If so, what percentage would you consider small?

It is also misleading to present the work of the pre-WWII Japanese with the “Borrelia genus” as evidence that Lyme disease research is connected to biowarfare. The Japanese were clearly working with relapsing fever

Harrison's says it's 80%. Apparently the other source said 50%. This is why I left it double sourced and said 50-80%. I'm fine with that, or I'm fine with going with just Harrison's and saying 80%. Any preferences?

The major criticism I'd make of this article is the overview at the start. It's not as readable or helpful as it could be; it would benefit from being simplified and re-written. What do you think?

Nighthawk J, the rash was given that name, and had its name maintained for nearly a century, for only one reason - because doctors observed the persistence of the rash. It's not rocket science.

First to recap – the CDC’s Epidemic Intelligence Service was set up during the Cold War, to conduct what, at the time, was publicly and unashamedly admitted to be offensive biowarfare research.

Is Dattwyler's directorship of a biotech corporation focusing on Plague and Lyme (in the one organism, no less!) not a conflict of interest, from both a financial and a military point of view?

Once again, a blatant violation of "NPOV". The reliability of the antibody tests is so controversial that scientists from BOTH camps have commented on the need for improved diagnostic methods.

The majority of "POV"-violating edits in this article are being made by editors who are from the Steere camp, ie the camp of Lyme medicine which is presently backed by US government agencies.
