That's my story, and I'm sticking to it—an update on B. burgdorferi adhesins
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2014 Adhesion is the initial event in the establishment of any infection. Borrelia burgdorferi, the etiological agent of Lyme disease, possesses myriad proteins termed adhesins that facilitate contact with its vertebrate hosts. B.

Landscape structure affects the prevalence and distribution of a tick-borne zoonotic pathogen [PDF]
, 2018 Background Landscape structure can affect pathogen prevalence and persistence with consequences for human and animal health. Few studies have examined how reservoir host species traits may interact with landscape structure to alter pathogen communities ...

Interactions between Borrelia burgdorferi and ticks
Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2020 Borrelia burgdorferi is the causative agent of Lyme disease and is transmitted to vertebrate hosts by Ixodes spp. ticks. The spirochaete relies heavily on its arthropod host for basic metabolic functions and has developed complex interactions with ticks ...

Ability to cause erythema migrans differs between Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato isolates [PDF]
, 2013 Background: Lyme borreliosis is a tick-borne disease caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. The variety of characteristic and non-specific clinical manifestations is partially explained by its genetic diversity.

Evidence for B-lymphocyte mitogen activity in Borrelia burgdorferi-infected mice [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1992 Borrelia burgdorferi produces a mitogen for murine B lymphocytes which can be measured in vitro by polyclonal stimulation of proliferation and immunoglobulin production (R. Schoenfeld, B. Araneo, Y. Ma, L. Yang, and J. J. Weis, Infect. Immun. 60:455-464, 1992). Sonicated B. burgdorferi cells also stimulated IL-6 production by splenocyte cultures.

Borrelia miyamotoi sensu lato Seroreactivity and Seroprevalence in the Northeastern United States
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014 Borrelia miyamotoi sensu lato, a relapsing fever Borrelia sp., is transmitted by the same ticks that transmit B. burgdorferi (the Lyme disease pathogen) and occurs in all Lyme disease–endemic areas of the United States. To determine the seroprevalence of
