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

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.

Identification of Three Species of Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Lato (B. burgdorferi Sensu Stricto, B. garinii, and B. afzelii) Among Isolates from Acrodermatitis Chronica Atrophicans Lesions [PDF]

Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1998
In Europe, at least three species of Borrelia are known to be causative agents of Lyme borreliosis: B. burgdorferi sensu stricto, B. garinii, and B. afzelii. Observable differences in the molecular characteristics of the three species have led to speculation that they may also differ in their pathogenic potential and/or tissue tropisms. Several studies

An optimized SYBR Green I/PI assay for rapid viability assessment and antibiotic susceptibility testing for Borrelia burgdorferi. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Lyme disease caused by Borrelia burgdorferi is the most common tick-borne disease in the US and Europe. Unlike most bacteria, measurements of growth and viability of B. burgdorferi are challenging. The current B.

Exposure to Tick-Borne Pathogens in Cats and Dogs Infested With Ixodes scapularis in Quebec: An 8-Year Surveillance Study

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
Cats that spend time outdoors and dogs are particularly at risk of exposure to ticks and the pathogens they transmit. A retrospective study on data collected through passive tick surveillance was conducted to estimate the risk of exposure to tick-borne ...

The Nucleotide Excision Repair Pathway Protects Borrelia burgdorferi from Nitrosative Stress in Ixodes scapularis Ticks [PDF]

, 2016
The Lyme disease spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi encounters a wide range of environmental conditions as it cycles between ticks of the genus Ixodes and its various mammalian hosts.

Hyperglycemia Impairs Neutrophil-Mediated Bacterial Clearance in Mice Infected with the Lyme Disease Pathogen. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Insulin-insufficient type 1 diabetes is associated with attenuated bactericidal function of neutrophils, which are key mediators of innate immune responses to microbes as well as pathological inflammatory processes.

Human neuroglial cells internalize Borrelia burgdorferi by coiling phagocytosis mediated by Daam1. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Borrelia burgdorferi, the agent of Lyme borreliosis, can elude hosts' innate and adaptive immunity as part of the course of infection. The ability of B. burgdorferi to invade or be internalized by host cells in vitro has been proposed as a mechanism for ...

Spirochetal Lipoproteins and Immune Evasion. [PDF]

, 2017
Spirochetes are a major threat to public health. However, the exact pathogenesis of spirochetal diseases remains unclear. Spirochetes express lipoproteins that often determine the cross talk between the host and spirochetes.

B. burgdorferi enrichment from feeding ticks v1

, 2022
Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb), the causative agent of Lyme disease, must adapt to vastly different environments as the bacterium cycles between the tick vector and a vertebrate host. During a bloodmeal, Bb migrates from the tick midgut to the salivary glands and changes its gene expression, priming Bb for vertebrate infection.
