Robust B Cell Responses Predict Rapid Resolution of Lyme Disease

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Lyme disease (Borrelia burgdorferi infection) is increasingly recognized as a significant source of morbidity worldwide. Here, we show that blood plasmablasts and CD27− memory B cells are elevated in untreated Lyme disease, with higher plasmablast levels

Content analysis of TikTok videos about tick prevention methods for dogs and cats

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Social media is a major source of pet health information. On platforms such as TikTok, algorithm‐driven recommendations may expose users to health‐related content even without active searching. This study described tick prevention videos on TikTok.

Coexistence of emerging bacterial pathogens in Ixodes ricinus ticks in Serbia*

Parasite, 2010
The list of tick-borne pathogens is long, varied and includes viruses, bacteria, protozoa and nematodes. As all of these agents can exist in ticks, their co-infections have been previously reported.

Borrelia burgdorferi complement regulator-acquiring surface protein 2 does not contribute to complement resistance or host infectivity.

PLoS ONE, 2008
Borrelia burgdorferi, the pathogen of Lyme disease, cycles in nature through Ixodes ticks and mammalian hosts. At least five Complement Regulator-Acquiring Surface Proteins (BbCRASPs) are produced by B.

Disruption of bbe02 by Insertion of a Luciferase Gene Increases Transformation Efficiency of Borrelia burgdorferi and Allows Live Imaging in Lyme Disease Susceptible C3H Mice. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Lyme disease is the most prevalent tick-borne disease in North America and Europe. The causative agent, Borrelia burgdorferi persists in the white-footed mouse. Infection with B.

Serological Analysis Identifies Consequential B Cell Epitopes on the Flexible Linker and C-Terminus of Decorin Binding Protein A (DbpA) from Borrelia burgdorferi

mSphere, 2022
Decorin binding protein A (DbpA) is a surface adhesin of Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease. While DbpA is one of the most immunogenic of B.

Citizen science project on urban canids provides different results from camera traps but generates interest and revenue

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
As urbanization increases, wildlife increasingly encounters people. Coyotes Canis latrans and red foxes Vulpes vulpes are two canid species that have readily adapted to urban environments. Citizen science has emerged as a low‐cost method of collecting data on urban‐adapted species that can benefit management agencies but may provide different results ...

Investigation of ospC Expression Variation among Borrelia burgdorferi Strains

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2017
Outer surface protein C (OspC) is the most studied major virulence factor of Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease. The level of OspC varies dramatically among B.

Extranodal Marginal Zone Lymphoma: Integrating Etiology, Microenvironment, and Genetics Into Clinical Decision‐Making

European Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (EMZL) represents a unique paradigm among indolent B‐cell neoplasms, in which lymphomagenesis is frequently driven by chronic antigenic stimulation within tissue‐specific microenvironments. Persistent infectious or autoimmune triggers promote the development of ectopic lymphoid tissue and sustain B‐cell ...

Decorin binding proteins of Borrelia burgdorferi promote arthritis development and joint specific post-treatment DNA persistence in mice. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Decorin binding proteins A and B (DbpA and B) of Borrelia burgdorferi are of critical importance for the virulence of the spirochete. The objective of the present study was to further clarify the contribution of DbpA and B to development of arthritis and
