This is about a page and a half of plain old news article.There is nothing new or different that isn't available with more information at no cost on line.What you do get is error:for example, she asserts that co-infection with babesiosis and B burgdorferi or B microti may make for more severe illness, but there is no increased risk for long term complications.This runs counter to the body of literature on this subject.As for other co-infections or tick-borne diseases than babesiosis, her only mention is of A. phagocytophilia, giving the impression that these are the sum of major infections.She completely ignores both erlichiosis and Bartonella, both common co-infections.This author needs to either learn Lyme, or stick to material she has adequately researched. ...

User-Friendly guide
I have found this very useful. The book has directed me to sites, which I may have never been able to find on my own.
I strongly recommend it for those, who are relatively new to Ehrlichiosis and who strive for as much information as possible on the disease.
