A special informational and educational forum about Lyme and other Tick-Borne Diseases (LTBD) will be held on April 10, 2013 at 7 PM at the Dover Town Hall. The purpose of this forum is to update residents about the latest scientific insights and efforts for the prevention and treatment of tick-borne diseases.
The forum is organized by the Board of Health Lyme Disease Committee (BOH-LDC) whose mission it is to seek the reduction of tick-borne diseases in the town of Dover by informing its residents of the available methods of personal and property protection, disease transmission, and tick density reduction.
Members of the BOH-LDC will report on the latest results in its research efforts, its volunteer hunting program, and the results of its latest town-wide LTBD survey. In addition, Dr. Sam Telford (professor at Tuft’s University) will discuss Ecology and Management of LTBD and Dr. Sam Donta (Infectious Disease Specialist) will present Symptoms and Treatment of acute and chronic LTBD. An additional time period is reserved for questions and answers by the public. Educational material on all related subjects will be available.
