Spirochetes abundant in soil communities Spirochetes are usually only observed after culture in vitro or from animal environments like guts (5). However, they are widely distributed in nature and presumably play an important role as free living microbes in environments such as soil. For example, analysis of soil communities show spirochetes contribute approximately 1% of diversity (6), a large amount for such a complex ecosystem. http://www.microbelibrary.org/asmonly/details.asp?id=2971&Lang=
Thanks Posey - MY that's a useful site. AND its information above, if correct, COULD be hugely important.
Myself and a number of other sufferers in UK and Cal were told we had a Borrelia 'like' spirochete in our blood. Not necessarily Lyme...but similar.
This could add weight to the possibility that the morgs parasite is thought to be soil dwelling.
