The public perception of Lyme borreliosis in Texas is dependent upon careful scrutiny of the results in our publication with Parasites & Vectors.  Scientific scrutiny and the verification of our results by the scientific community are critical to do that.  Therefore, this group has registered the genetic sequence information of the genes utilized in this study in GenBank allowing the scientific community to verify our results.  We appreciate the attention this publication has received so rapidly and remain committed to being transparent with our results.  This will enable the scientific community to reach consensus regarding the validity of our findings.
