An Appeal from the American Lyme Disease Foundation

The American Lyme Disease Foundation is dedicated to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of Lyme disease which, in the United States, has been defined historically as a tick-borne bacterial infection caused by the spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto. Through its website, the Foundation plays a major role in providing reliable and scientifically accurate information to the public, medical community and various public health agencies about Lyme disease and its impact on human health.
