Borreliae Effects Identified[/h]
This article originally appeared on Infectious Disease Advisor. Data presented at the American Society of Microbiology annual meeting in Boston, MA, showed that several natural compounds effectively killed vectors for lyme disease including
Borrelia burgdorferi
Anna Goc, PhD, Senior Researcher at the Dr. Rath Research Institute and colleagues presented evaluated more than 50 natural compounds against active and latent forms of
Borrelia burgdorferi and
Borrelia garinii, predominant causative agents of
Lyme disease in the US and in Europe. They concluded that several of the compounds held anti-
