Could the reason for the Delay be Economic?

“Filament formation associated with spirochetal infection: a comparative approach to Morgellons disease”
by
Middelveen and Stricker (2011)
and
Why this New Study is So Very Important
Elizabeth Rasmussen, PhD describes that findings of the recent study about Morgellons Disease (MD) by Middelveen and Stricker (2011) are in direct opposition to the historical and traditional approach to the illness. MD has been presumed to be a psychiatrist disorder called “Delusions of Parasitosis” by dermatologists. Instead, Marianne Middelveen, a veterinary microbiologist, and Dr. Ray Stricker have found evidence of an a veterinary analog to MD in a disease of economic importance called bovine digital dermatitis (BDD). The bovine disease is characterized by presence of abnormal keratin fibers in the area of the hooves and causes lameness, loss of milk production and loss of weight in cattle, and has been researched since the 1970s. BDD has been found associated with spirochetes, spiral shaped bacteria organisms of a similar type to those that cause Lyme Disease and syphilis. Although the etiology of MD is not yet known, the findings by Mideelveen and Stricker provide evidence to support a potential physiological and perhaps infectious etiology and a new direction for further research of MD. Dermatology has assumed a psychiatric etiology for the multisystemic illness without evidence to support that assumption. Dr. Rasmussen presents a critique of the traditional approach by dermatology and others throughout the past century and why the new study is so important. The emerging illness that now is reported in many countries around the world, seems to parallel the emerging bovine illness in many ways. A major contrast between the two diseases seems to be in amount of resources applied to researching a bovine disease of economic importance, vs. a human illness that has been virtually ignored by researchers as thousands more report symptoms of MD.
New report links Morgellons Disease and a Veterinary Disease of Increasing Economic Concern: Current research and existing assumptions about an emerging illness.
By Elizabeth Rasmussen, PhD, Scientific Advisory Panel, Charles E. Holman Foundation
The first comparison in the medical literature regarding an emerging illness across species lines has been reported by Middelveen and Stricker (2011): “Filament formation associated with spirochetal infection: a comparative approach to Morgellons disease,” published recently in Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology. Following is the abstract:
