Update and Commentary on Four Emerging Tick-Borne Infections : Ehrlichia muris–like Agent, Borrelia miyamotoi, Deer Tick Virus, Heartland Virus, and Whether Ticks Play a Role in Transmission of Bartonella henselae
Disclosures: Dr G.P. Wormser reports receiving research grants from Immunetics, Inc, RareCyte, Inc, Institute for Systems Biology and bioMérieux SA. He owns equity in Abbott; has been an expert witness in malpractice cases involving Lyme disease; is an unpaid board member of the American Lyme Disease Foundation; has been an expert witness regarding Lyme disease in a disciplinary action for the Missouri Board of Registration for the Healing Arts; and was a consultant to Baxter for Lyme disease vaccine development.
The greater the ignorance, the greater the dogmatism.

But actually, if my memory serves me correctly, that term was first coined by the CDC prior to Wormser using it.
