Current Affairs Czechs develop vaccine against Lyme disease
The tick season here in the Czech Republic only starts in spring but the campaign against the tick-borne encephalitis has already been launched, urging people to get vaccinated on time. However, ticks also transmit another disease – Lyme disease – which can seriously harm people’s health, especially joints and the nervous system, if untreated, and no vaccine has been available so far. However, this may be about to change. A Moravian company Bioveta in cooperation with Palacký University in Olomouc has just completed the development of a vaccine against Lyme disease.
