The distribution and prevalence of B. burgdorferi genomospecies in Ixodes ricinus ticks in Ireland

European Journal of Epidemiology, 1997
Questing Ixodes ricinus ticks were collected from six locations throughout Ireland and 638 nymphs, 111 females and 118 males were investigated for infection with Borrelia burgdorferi sensulato (s.l.). The total prevalence of B. burgdorferi s.l. in the ticks was determined as 14.9% by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of the spacer region of

PREDOMINANCE OF BORRELIA BURGDORFERI SPECIFIC B CELLS IN CEREBROSPINAL FLUID IN NEUROBORRELIOSIS

The Lancet, 1989
A nitrocellulose immunospot assay that allows the counting of cells secreting IgG, IgA, or IgM antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi was used to compare B cell response to B burgdorferi at the cellular level in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood from patients with neuroborreliosis with that in patients with aseptic meningoencephalitis (AM) or non ...

Comparison of Borrelia burgdorferi ultrasonicate and whole B. burgdorferi cells as a stimulus for T-Cell proliferation and GM-CSF secretion in vitro

Zentralblatt für Bakteriologie, 1993
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from five patients with confirmed Lyme borreliosis (LB) and from seven seronegative healthy subjects were incubated with ultrasonicated sterile-filtrated B. burgdorferi and with whole live Borrelia burgdorferi cells (strain RT1). PBMC culture conditions were 1 x 10(5) PBMC/well/ 10% autologous plasma (AP) and 2

Three species of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (B. burgdorferi sensu stricto, B afzelii, and B. garinii) identified from cerebrospinal fluid isolates by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and PCR

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1996
A total of 36 European Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato cerebrospinal fluid isolates (mainly from southern Germany) were analyzed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) for large restriction fragment pattern (LRFP) and linear plasmid profiles. Analyzing this large panel of isolates, we detected all three species of B.

A CASE OF DELAYED DIAGNOSIS OF SEVERE B. BURGDORFERI MENINGO-ENCEPHALITIS

Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 2012
An early diagnosis of neuroborreliosis is imperative, as full recovery may not be achieved with delayed treatment. The diagnosis may be delayed due to atypical presentation of this rare condition. We report a case of 44-year-old farmer with a delayed diagnosis of a severe meningo-myelitis secondary to B.burgdorferi infection.

Borrelia burgdorferi outer surface protein (osp) B expression independent of ospA

Microbial Pathogenesis, 2004
The outer surface proteins (Osp) A and B are two important lipoproteins of Borrelia burgdorferi, the Lyme disease spirochete. Extensive in vitro studies indicate that ospB shares a common promoter with ospA and thus these two lipoprotein genes are coordinately transcribed. We show here that B.

Immunoregulatory effects of Borrelia burgdorferi on T-B cell interactions.

The Journal of rheumatology, 1992
Late stages of Lyme borreliosis are characterized by a disproportionate inflammatory response presumably elicited by only minute amounts of persisting antigen. To explore the possibility that amplification mechanisms of the immune response shape disease manifestations, we studied immunoregulatory properties of Borrelia burgdorferi antigens and analyzed
