Borreliae Part 2: Borrelia Relapsing Fever Group and Unclassified Borrelia [PDF]

Biology, 2021
Borreliae of the relapsing fever group (RFG) are heterogenous and can be divided mainly into three groups according to vectors, namely the soft-tick-borne relapsing fever (STBRF) Borreliae, the hard-tick-borne relapsing fever (HTBRF) Borreliae, the louse-borne relapsing fever (LBRF) Borreliae, and the avian relapsing fever ones.

Acylated proteins in Borrelia hermsii, Borrelia parkeri, Borrelia anserina, and Borrelia coriaceae [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1993
Borrelia hermsii, Borrelia parkeri, Borrelia anserina, and Borrelia coriaceae produced several lipoproteins identified by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and fluorography of bacteria grown in [3H]palmitate. Five major acylated proteins were demonstrated by sequential alkaline and acid hydrolysis.

Perpetuation of Borreliae [PDF]

Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2021
With one exception (epidemic relapsing fever), borreliae are obligately maintained in nature by ticks. Although some Borrelia spp. may be vertically transmitted to subsequent generations of ticks, most require amplification by a vertebrate host because inheritance is not stable. Enzootic cycles of borreliae have been found globally; those receiving the

Tick-Tattoo: DNA Vaccination Against B. burgdorferi or Ixodes scapularis Tick Proteins

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
IntroductionBorrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (sl) is the causative agent of Lyme borreliosis. Currently there is no human vaccine against Lyme borreliosis, and most research focuses on recombinant protein vaccines. DNA tattoo vaccination with B.

Dog tick (Rhipecephalus) causing Lyme disease in an adult human

Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care, 2022
Lyme disease is a tick-borne multisystem disorder transmitted by the family of Ixodes and caused by a spirochete, Borrelia. An early manifestation of the disease presents with skin lesions typically called Erythema chronicum migrans (ECM).
