  1. "The Role of Passerine Birds on Dispersing Lyme Disease Spirochete Vector Ticks in Non Endemic Area: Proposal for an Extended Study" Muhammad Morshed Laboratory Services, BCCDC & Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, UBC

  2. Borrelia burgdorferi

  3. rrf-rrl Osp A 249bp 250bp

  4. BIRD TICK STUDY Swainson's thrush Catharus ustulatus American robin Turdus migratorius Fox sparrow Passerella iliaca

  5. Occurence of Ixodes spp. ticks on passerine birds in BC, and presence of Borrelia burgdorferi in ticks

  6. Data missing • Whether passerine birds are immunogenic against B. burgdorferi exposure • Are Passerine birds susceptible to Bb or can act as a host? • Are I. auritulas competent for sucking blood from small rodents?

  7. Tentative budget • Field worker (bird): 1,500x6 =9,000.00 • Field trip (mice): =5,000.00 • Transportation of specimens =1,000 • Laboratory Tests (Cul.,IFA, EIA, WB,PCR) = 5,000.00 • Total: 20,000.00
