Camels May Transmit New Middle Eastern Virus
FReepmail me if you want on or off my combined microbiology/immunology ping list.
Recent studies have found that a tick can transmit one of the tick borne diseases in as little as 45 minutes of time from attachment. It flies in the face of what we have thought the past 20 years that a tick had to be attached for hours to transmit disease. I wouldn’t doubt that it can be faster than forty five minutes.
FReepmail me if you want on or off my New York ping list.
Thanks for the ping!
