While Lyme cases have
reached record highs in recent
years, there's no way to know if
this spring will bring a bumper crop
of Lyme-bearing ticks, said CDC
Lyme expert David Dennis. But
there are steps people should take
to lower their risk of contracting
Lyme and other tick-borne dis-
eases, he advised:

0 Check yourself and your children
daily for ticks. Scientists believe
Lyme-bearing ticks must remain at-
tached for 36 hours to infect
someone.
0 Wear long sleeves and pants
tucked into socks or boots when
venturing into tick-prone areas like
unmowed grass or brush, and use
insect repellent that contains DEET.
0 To discourage ticks from moving
into yards, put a barrier, such as a
layer of wood chips. between
woods and grass. Remove leaves
and brush; ticks prefer dark, moist
habitats.
o Lyme disease is spread by ticks
that feed on deer and rodents. Be-
cause communities have been leery
of wide-scale pesticide use, the
CDC is testing more targeted tech-
nology: bait boxes that rub tick-
killing pesticides on rodents. and
feeding bins that do the same to
deer.

Smart ‘critters': Disease’s bacteria make
proteins that can trick immune systems

By Sean Alexander
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

A study by a UK researcher
reveals important information
about how Lyme disease, a
widespread condition common
in New England. works.

Dr. Brian Stevenson, an as-
sistant professor in the Depart-
ment of Microbiology, Im—
munology and Molecular Ge-
netics, works with the bacteria
that causes Lyme disease, bor—
relia burgdorferi.

The journal Infection and
Immunity printed the results
this month of the study. The
study discovered the function
of several proteins found in the
surface of the bacteria. which
allow it to escape attack from
the immune systems of humans
and other mammals.

"It was very exciting."
Stevenson said of his discovery.

The black-legged tick. or
“deer tick“ is the species that
transmits the bacteria that
causes Lyme disease. Stevenson
said that every animal has a dif-
ferent immune system. To trav-
el from one host to another. the
bacteria must “escape" multi-
ple immune systems.

The bacteria does this by
employing 113 different proteins
on its surface called Erp pro-
teins. Stevenson said. Different
proteins interact with different
animals. Four of them interact

with human immune systems.
Stevenson said.

Normally. the body's im-
mune system attacks bacteria
cells. but to keep the immune
system from attacking healthy
cells. the body manufactures
something called Factor ll.
Stevenson said. The proteins
bind to Factor H. and trick the
immune system

“It‘s a way of saying ‘hey.
I'm part of your own body.
don't kill me.” he said.

With 13 ally proteins. thr-
bacteria is able to escape the
immune system of many ani-
mals. such as mice. rats and
cattle. Stevenson said.

Dr. Avi Nath. a professor in
the Department of Neurology.
said the bacteria‘s ability to es-
cape the immunc systems of so
many animals makes the bacte-
ria a “wolf in sheep's clothing.”

“These little critters are ac-
tually quite smart," Nath said.

The study has been corrob-
orated by a similar German
study conducted at the liniven
sity Hospital of Frankfurt about
six months after Stevenson‘s.
The two men will be collaborat-
ing on future efforts.

Stevenson said some think
his research may lead to drugs
or a vaccine targeting the Hip
proteins that affect the human
immune system. a major ad-
vance in medical science relat»
ed to Lyme disease.

Lyme vaccine
pulled from
the shelves

ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON - With tick sea-
son approaching, the maker of the
natidn‘s only vaccine against Lyme
disease pulled it off the market.
citing poor sales.

Lymerix had caused controver-
sy in recent years, as patients
said they were sickened by the
vaccine and asked the government
to restrict sales. Some flied law-
suits against maker GlaxoSmithli-
line.

Federal health officials said
Tuesday they had found no evi-
dence that the vaccine was dan-
gerous. They urged people in
Lyme-plagued states to take pre-
cautions against the pin-sized
ticks that spread the disease.

Lymerix had $40 million in
sales its first year on the market,
and hundreds of thousands were
vaccinated. But GlaxoSmithitllne
projected that fewer than l0,000
people would seek vaccination this
year, and ended sales because
”there's just no demand for it."
said company spokeswoman Ra-
mona Dubose.

Lyme disease is spread by
ticks that live in wooded and
grassy areas nationwide, but es-
pecially in the Northeast, from
Maryland to Maine. and in Wiscon-
sin and Minnesota. It causes fa-
tigue. fevers and joint pain that
can persist for weeks. Some pa-
tients develop severe arthritis. if
not treated with antibiotics, Lyme
disease can severely damage the
heart and nervous systems.

The FDA approved the sale of
Lymerix in 1998. But the Centers
for Disease Control and Preven-
tion had urged that only people at
high risk of Lyme disease be vac-
cinated. largely because the ex-
pensive vaccine didn't offer com-
plete protection. Studies showed
it was 80 percent effective after
people got all three required
shots.

After vaccinations began, some
patients reported arthritis, muscle
pain and other troubling symrr
toms.

Many of the symptoms were
similar to Lyme disease itself, and
is percent of the US. population
has arthritis anyway. Scientists
found teasing out any connection
to Lymerix difficult.

In one study, 5,000 people got
Lymerix and another 5,000 got
dummy shots. Two percent of
each group developed arthritis-
like symptoms.

The CDC re-examined 905 pos-
sible side effects reported to the
government between 1998 and
July 2000. The CDC's results, just
published in the journal Vaccine,
found no signs that Lymerix
caused arthritis. but did find 22
cases of allergic reaction.

Those studies don't persuade
some critics. At least seven law-
suits are pending over alleged Ly-
merix reactions, and several hun-
dred more people may file. said
Philadelphia attorney Stephen A.
Sheller.

"We're thrilled” that Lymerix
is being taken off the market. said
Karen Forschner of the Lyme Dis-
ease Foundation. who recently
presented information to the FDA
that she says suggests Lymerix
safety studies were seriously
flawed.

The FDA is continuing to inves-
tigate.

and wanted my input."
Wiehe said.

attention of the producers .s
Sibling .-lliuse; Hidden Physical.
Emotional, and Sexual ’l'rriumit.

The Hearst (‘orporatton

child. sibling abuse is o
missed as just sibling riy. ,
