NEWS #1 - Birds Identified as Hosts of Lyme Disease
This feature appeared in the March 13 Outdoor Wire and Birding Wire:
Birds are more important than previously recognized as hosts for Lyme
disease-causing bacteria, according to a recent study published in the
journal PLOS ONE.
The bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, which is responsible for
Lyme disease, was known to be carried by white-footed mice, wood rats,
western gray squirrels, and other small mammals, but fewer studies have
looked at the role of birds as reservoirs.
"The role of birds in the maintenance of Lyme disease bacteria in
California is poorly understood," said lead author Erica Newman, a UC
Berkeley PhD student. "This is the most extensive study of the role of
birds in Lyme disease ecology in the western United States, and the
first to consider the diversity of bird species, their behaviors, and
their habitats in identifying which birds are truly the most important
as carriers."
