Southern Tick-Associated Rash Illness (STARI) in the North: STARI following a tick bite in Long Island, New York.

Serologic evaluation of patients from Missouri with erythema migrans-like skin lesions with the C6 Lyme test.

These patients exhibit skin lesions that resemble erythema migrans (EM), the characteristic skin lesion in early Lyme disease. The etiology of STARI remains unknown, and no serologic test is available to aid in its diagnosis. The C6 Lyme en...

First culture isolation of Borrelia lonestari, putative agent of southern tick-associated rash illness.
