Thank you for allowing me to interject.
Dr. Njoo just alluded to my name and then mentioned that there was no definitive evidence of transmission of Borrelia.
I know that this committee has been given in evidence a textbook that was published in the late 1990s on neonatal disease. I know that Dr. Njoo is aware of that textbook as well. I would like to point out to this committee that the World Health Organization identifies in sub-Saharan Africa a danger of maternal fetal transmission of another Borrelia species causing epidemic relapsing fever in newborns. This is an active World Health Organization pursuit: looking at Borrelia species transmitted neonatally.
I don't think, then, that Dr. Njoo's statement that there's no definitive evidence of transmission of Borrelia species should be left unchallenged.
