Epidemiological and ecological investigations to date have focused on the terrestrial forms of Lyme disease. Here we show a significant role for seabirds in a global transmission cycle by demonstrating the presence of Lyme disease Borrelia spirochetes in Ixodes uriae ticks from several seabird colonies in both the Southern and Northern Hemispheres. Borrelia DNA was isolated from I. uriae ticks and from cultured spirochetes. Sequence analysis of a conserved region of the flagellin (fla) gene revealed that the DNA obtained was from B. garinii regardless of the geographical origin of the sample. Identical fla gene fragments in ticks obtained from different hemispheres indicate a transhemispheric exchange of Lyme disease spirochetes. A marine ecological niche and a marine epidemiological route for Lyme disease borreliae are proposed.

INDIANA LAW JOURNAL Volume 44 Spring 1969 Number 3 THE LEGAL ORDERING OF SATELLITE TELECOMMUNICATION: PROBLEMS AND ALTERNATIVES DELBERT D. SMITHt The use of satellites in outer space to provide a means of transmission for international telecommunication could be viewed as simply a tech- nological advancement neither necessitating basic structural changes in the international control institutions nor requiring alteration of the control theories designed to regulate unauthorized transmissions. How- ever, the magnitude of the changes involved, coupled with increased governmental concern, has resulted in a number of politico-legal problems. It is the purpose of this article to examine on several levels of analysis the implications of utilizing satellites as a means of telecom- munication transmission. Introductory material on the development of communications satellite technology stresses the need for international organization and co-operation to oversee the launching and maintenance of a global communications system and indicates the pressures for the implementation of control measures over transmissions originating in outer space.

  • Space Science and Meteorology Spectrum Allocations in the UK
    Introduction ‘Space science’ is an umbrella term that covers both Earth observation and space related scientific research. Earth observation (EO) satellites observe the earth and its atmosphere, using visible light or radio spectrum from a unique vantage point. The information it provides is used for a wide range of purposes including weather forecasting, environmental monitoring, climate change research as well as a number of commercial activities. Radio astronomy and space research contribute to our knowledge of space and the evolution of the universe. The following services fall under this category: • Earth Exploration Satellite Service (EESS) Space Research Service (SRS) Space Operation Service (SOS) Radio Astronomy Service (RAS) Meteorological Satellite Service (MetSat) Meteorological Aids Service (Met-Aids) Radiolocation Service Note: this only for wind profiler and weather radars) Standard Time and Frequency signals) These services can be split in two broad categories: passive services (RAS, EESS and Space Research Service), that measure naturally- occurring radiation often at very low power levels. This information provides useful data to help further understand the Earth and universe. The frequency bands are often determined by the specific physical properties being investigated (e.g. molecular resonance). active services that make use of a variety of technologies (e.g. radiodetermination) to carryout measurements, observations or transfer the collected data. These active applications are relatively less sensitive to interference compared to passive sensors. Given the low levels of radiation being monitored these services often use very sensitive receivers. In most cases the equipment is not able to discriminate between these natural radiations and man-made radiations. For this reason, a number of bands have been harmonised across the world for the use by passive services only.

  • RSPG Sub-Group on Scientific Use of Radio Spectrum
    Progress report RSPG OPINION on ¨a coordinated EU Spectrum approach for scientific use of radio spectrum¨ 1. Introduction This paper represents the Radio Spectrum Policy Group’s (RSPG) progress report to the request from France and The Netherlands for an Opinion on spectrum used by scientific services. (document RSPG05-67 and RSPG 05-82). Many fields of science depend on the use of radio spectrum. This spectrum could also be used for other purposes, which in certain cases leads to pressure on the spectrum used by the scientific community. These developments have led to concerns about the long-term availability of spectrum for scientific use. Although these alternative applications may represent significant economic value, scientific usage of spectrum also has significant social and economic benefits. The RSPG agreed to formulate an opinion on the scientific use of spectrum in order to get an overview of all important aspects of the spectrum-based activities of the scientific community and to issue recommendations. 2. Overview of Scientific Use 2.1 Introduction Spectrum is used by several scientific services. These services use radio emissions to register naturally occurring physical phenomena or to communicate information between different locations. The following services are identified in the Radio Regulations: the Meteorological Aids Service, the Earth Exploration Satellite Service (EESS), the Meteorological-Satellite Service, the Space Research Service (SRS), and the Radio Astronomy Service (RAS). Also the Space Operation Service, the Radiolocation Service (RLS) and the Radionavigation Satellite Service are used for scientific applications1. This chapter gives a description of the various scientific activities. It is to be noted that these activities do not always coincide with the definitions of services used by the ITU in the Radio Regulations.
