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

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.

The Release of Non-Native Gamebirds Is Associated With Amplified Zoonotic Disease Risk. [PDF]

Ecol Lett
Spillback is potentially an important mechanism by which non‐natives contribute to zoonotic disease emergence. We capitalise on quasi‐experimental releases of non‐native pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) to compare native pathogen prevalence between sites with similar local conditions but different non‐native densities. Prevalence of Borrelia sp.

Evolutionary Genetics of Borrelia [PDF]

Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2021
The genus Borrelia consists of evolutionarily and genetically diverse bacterial species that cause a variety of diseases in humans and domestic animals. These vector-borne spirochetes can be classified into two major evolutionary groups, the Lyme borreliosis clade and the relapsing fever clade, both of which have complex transmission cycles during ...

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.

Genetic Manipulation of Borrelia [PDF]

Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2021
Genetic studies in Borrelia require special consideration of the highly segmented genome, complex growth requirements and evolutionary distance of spirochetes from other genetically tractable bacteria. Despite these challenges, a robust molecular genetic toolbox has been constructed to investigate the biology and pathogenic potential of these important

New geographical records for tick‐borne pathogens in ticks collected from cattle in Benin and Togo

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 9, Issue 1, Page 345-352, January 2023., 2023
A total of 396 ticks were collected from cattle between 2019 and 2020, and divided in pools (two to six ticks per pool) for molecular screening. The present study highlights the presence of zoonotic agents in ticks collected from cattle in Benin and Togo.

Whole-Genome Sequences of Borrelia bissettii, Borrelia valaisiana, and Borrelia spielmanii [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 2012
ABSTRACT It has been known for decades that human Lyme disease is caused by the three spirochete species Borrelia burgdorferi , Borrelia afzelii , and Borrelia garinii . Recently, Borrelia valaisiana , Borrelia spielmanii

Borrelia burgdorferi and Borrelia miyamotoi in Atlantic Canadian wildlife

PLOS ONE, 2022
Borrelia burgdorferi and Borrelia miyamotoi are tick-vectored zoonotic pathogens maintained in wildlife species. Tick populations are establishing in new areas globally in response to climate change and other factors. New Brunswick is a Canadian maritime province at the advancing front of tick population establishment and has seen increasing numbers of

Ruffed grouse do not exhibit high potential for reservoir competency of common tick‐borne pathogens

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 46, Issue 5, December 2022., 2022
Blacklegged ticks are vectors for Borrelia burgdorferi and Anaplasma phagocytophilum transmission, thus we sought to identify ruffed grouse as an alternative host of blacklegged ticks by testing for active and previous infections of tick‐borne pathogens. We failed to detect active, or evidence of previous, B.
