research team
How well can doctors in low-incidence areas diagnose Lyme disease? To find out, a team of researchers from the University of California, Davis, and the California Department of Public Health surveyed physicians in that low-incidence state to determine their knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding Lyme disease. Their results were published in September in the Journal of Medical Entomology. Pictured here are members of the research team: (left to right) Christopher Barker, Ph.D.; Woutrina Smith, DVM, MPVM, Ph.D.; Anne Kjemtrup, DVM, MPVM, Ph.D.; Sharon Brummitt, MPH; and Danielle Harvey, Ph.D. (Photo courtesy of Woutrina Smith and Sharon Brummitt)
