Also of note from Stanford:
Current Areas of Study
Infection-associated chronic diseases that our group studies include Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Chronic Lyme Disease, Epilepsy, Multiple Sclerosis, and other unexplained chronic illnesses. We are interested in learning more about how infectious agents may play an etiologic role in these diseases. These infectious agents include human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6), retroviruses such as xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV), parasites such as Toxoplasma gondii, fungi such as Coccidiodes immitis, and bacteria such as Borrelia burgdorferi (the cause of Lyme disease).
