Dr. Richard S. Ostfeld studies the ecology of Lyme and other tick-born diseases at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook. The CDC announced this winter that it has been underreporting cases of Lyme, but for Ostfeld, the most worrisome issue is the fact that we still cannot accurately quantify the magnitude of the problem. “If we underestimate the nature of the threat, then we re not going to apply adequate resources to either understanding it or solving it. And that has been the history of Lyme,” he said.Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies
