Episode 80
Thursday, 30 October, 2025
With climate change the distribution of ticks is extending throughout Canada and along with that the increasing risk of tick-borne infectious diseases. Join CFP Editor Dr. Nick Pimlott and Associate Editor Dr. David Ponka as they discuss the rise in tick-borne illnesses such as Lyme disease along with previously less commonly seen diseases like Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis and Powassan virus with Dr. Clarissa Ng and Dr. Pil Joo. Dr. Ngo and Dr. Joo are the authors of a Clinical Review in the October issue of Canadian Family Physician entitled “Anaplasmosis: Emerging Threat in Canada”. In the interview they discuss the common clinical presentations, the appropriate use of investigations and the increasing importance of considering tick-borne infections in the differential diagnosis of acute febrile illnesses both in the office and emergency room setting.
