Lyme disease

As per available reports about 656 journals, 11 Conferences, 9 workshops are presently dedicated exclusively to Lyme disease and about 368,000 articles are being published on the current trends in Lyme disease. In terms of research annually, USA, India, Japan, Brazil and Canada are some of the leading countries where maximum studies related to proteomics are being carried out. Lyme disease is an infectious disease caused by at least three species of bacteria belonging to the genus Borrelia. Early symptoms may include fever, headache, and fatigue. A rash occurs in 70–80% of infected persons at the site of the tick bite after a delay of 3–30 days (average is about 7 days), and may or may not appear as the well-publicized bull's-eye (erythema migrans). The rash is only rarely painful or itchy, although it may be warm to the touch. About 20–30% of infected persons do not experience a rash.

Each year research scientists have noticed a rise in the number of congresses being held in this field. The Journal of Epidemiology: Open Access provides a unique platform to researchers and scientist to explore the advanced and latest research developments in the field of Lyme disease, thus bridging the gap between researchers and young scientists.

 OMICS International – a pioneer in organizing international conferences (Epidemiology and genetics 2014 will be held on August 18-19, 2014 in Beijing, China, with the collaboration and support of editorial members and scientific partners. This scientific conference will bring renowned researchers, experts, and students under a common platform.The branch of epidemiology plays a crucial role in influencing the global health goals set by various public health organizations like WHO, UNAIDS, UNICEF, FAO and other professional bodies. The activities that benefit through these organizations are epidemic and pandemic control measures, drafting emergency action plans in times of drought and global calamities, redeeming global policies to alleviate poverty and malnutrition, forecasting health economics, safeguarding ecology, and more).
