The current view of the Australian government is that there is no evidence for the existence of borreliosis (Lyme disease, Lyme Borreliosis or relapsing fever) in Australia. However, there is evidence of a Lyme-like disease, although the exact causative agent is not yet known.
By supporting the Karl McManus Foundation you will be helping us to achieve the following goals:
The isolation of the causative agent of Lyme-like illness in Australia.
Presentation of DNA evidence will enable the removal of barriers to recognition of Lyme-like disease in Australia. The Foundation is aware that research takes time but your donations will expedite this process.
Provide avenues of training and further education to clinicians
This can involve travel fellowships for clinicians to undergo training overseas by Lyme disease specialists and making available global experts as plenary speakers to the annual Tick Borne Diseases Conference hosted by the Foundation.
Encourage research into Lyme-like illness/borreliosis in Australia
The Foundation welcomes research proposals from medical research scientists. Support clinicians who contact the foundation to become familiar with signs and symptoms of Lyme-like illness.
