Dr. Mark Wilson of the UM School of Public Health, will discuss vector-born diseases, and how we can best avoid them while exploring and enjoying the planet, both near and far. In particular, Mark will discuss the ecology and epidemiology of Borrelia burdorferi transmission and Lyme disease risk. Additionally, he will include the environmental factors that determine the geographic patterns of risk, human behavioral and other means to reduce risk, the roll of various animal species as bacteria reservoirs and rick vectors.
