Dr. John Lambert:

On who are the experts, in America there are groups of centres of excellence in Baltimore and Stanford, California. A number of groups are conducting research into Lyme disease. In Europe there are no centres of excellence in academic centres, but I have mentioned Dr. Christian Peronne, a clinician in France who is recognised as a treating physician and an international expert on Lyme disease. There are a limited number of experts worldwide because there has not been a huge investment of resources to understand these diseases.
