EVIDENCES ABOUT HUMAN TICK-BORNE INFECTIONS IN CUBA
Serosurveys for IgG antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto in a population exposed to tick bites (n = 247) and blood donors (n = 114) were done to assess the prevalence of tick-borne infections in. Seroprevalence of antiborrelial IgG antibodies

Differences in clinicopathologic variables between Borrelia C6 antigen seroreactive and Borrelia C6 seronegative glomerulopathy in dogs. [PDF]
BackgroundRapidly progressive glomerulonephritis has been described in dogs that seroreact to Borrelia burgdorferi, but no studies have compared clinicopathologic differences in Lyme-seroreactive dogs with protein-losing nephropathy (PLN) versus dogs ...

Ehrlichia and Anaplasma are bacteria that cause diseases, known as ehrlichiosis and anaplasmosis, in humans and other animals. Ehrlichia and Anaplasma are primarily transmitted through the bites of infected hard ticks, such as the lone star tick, the blacklegged tick, and the American dog tick.

Antigenic variation in the African trypanosome: molecular mechanisms and phenotypic complexity [PDF]
Antigenic variation is an immune evasion strategy that has evolved in viral, bacterial and protistan pathogens. In the African trypanosome this involves stochastic switches in the composition of a variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) coat, using a massive ...
