Lyme disease vaccine shows potential to eradicate bacteria in ticks
A Lyme disease vaccine that protects lab mice also eliminates Lyme bacteria from ticks that spread the illness. Yale researcher Dr. Richard Flavell says eradicating the disease is possible in theory, with human trials slated to begin later this year and a National Academy of Sciences paper due. The vaccine targets the OspA protein, and antibodies from vaccinated mice kill spirochetes in the tick gut, suggesting broader control of the tickborne illness.
