The CMAJ case report of concurrent babseiosis and Lyme disease in Ontario by Claudia C. dos Santos and Kevin C. Kain1 contains some incorrect information.
First, the authors state that "205 cases of Lyme disease were reported in this country between 1984 and 1994." In fact, the "205 cases" were in Ontario, not all of Canada.2
Second, they state that Ixodes scapularis and I. pacificus ticks "have been identified in about 250 locations in Canada." The "250 locations" refer to the distribution of the blacklegged tick, I. scapularis, not I. pacificus. In the original reference2, there is no mention of the western blacklegged tick, I. pacificus. This tick has only been documented in British Columbia.
Third, Long Point peninsula is not in Point Pelee National Park. These 2 locations are approximately 200 km apart - a 3-hour car drive.
Finally, the common name of I. scapularis is blacklegged tick, not deer tick.3
