Molecular pathogenesis; Lyme disease and human granulocytic ehrlichiosis

I am studying Borrelia burgdorferi, the etiologic agent of Lyme disease and the agent of human granulocytic ehrlichiosis. Current projects in the lab include the study of the ecology of Lyme disease, human granulocytic ehrlichiosis, in Minnesota.
