Arthritogenicity of Borrelia burgdorferi and Borrelia garinii: Comparison of Infection in Mice

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2009
Arthritogenicity, as determined by joint swelling and synovial histology, was compared between or within two Borrelia genospecies that cause Lyme arthritis in humans. The spirochete burden in bladder tissue (a site of spirochete persistence) was documented by quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and immune responses were analyzed.

Borrelia meningitis in Denmark

Zentralblatt für Bakteriologie, Mikrobiologie und Hygiene. Series A: Medical Microbiology, Infectious Diseases, Virology, Parasitology, 1987
We studied 23 patients with borrelia meningitis, a tick-borne spirochetosis increasingly recognized in Denmark. The disease showed a seasonal incidence from June to December. Twenty one patients experienced a painful sensory radiculitis, in 17 cases followed by a predominantly cranial mononeuritis multiplex mainly affecting the facial nerve (Bannwarth ...

Borrelia arthritis in Sweden

Zentralblatt für Bakteriologie, Mikrobiologie und Hygiene. Series A: Medical Microbiology, Infectious Diseases, Virology, Parasitology, 1986
Antibodies to Borrelia spirochetes were determined by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in sera from 298 patients with postinfectious arthritis. Sera from healthy individuals, patients with acute infectious meningitis of proven etiology and patients with multiple sclerosis served as controls. Titers above the 100% percentile of controls were

The Genus Borrelia

1981
Borrelia is one of five genera in the family Spiro-chaetaceae. In the past, the organisms in this genus have been referred to as Spirochaeta, Spirillum, and Treponema, as well as a variety of other names. The currently acceptable nomenclature of Borrelia is derived from the name of A.

The Molecular Biology of Borrelia

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1989
Borrelia burgdorferi, the cause of Lyme disease, has two major outer-membrane proteins, OspA and OspB, which act as surface antigens. A 49-kilobase linear plasmid contains the genes that encode for these surface proteins. Direct examination of denatured plasmid molecules has revealed single-stranded circles with a circumference of approximately 100 ...

Prevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, Borrelia afzelii, Borrelia garinii, and Borrelia valaisiana in Ixodes ricinus ticks from the northwest of Norway

Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2013
Over a 3-y period, Ixodes ricinus ticks were randomly collected to study the prevalence of 4 Borrelia species: B. burgdorferi sensu stricto, B. afzelii, B. garinii and B. valaisiana. While B. burgdorferi s. s., B. afzelii, and B. garinii have been associated with human borreliosis in Norway for several years, B.

Microbiology of Borrelia burgdorferi

Seminars in Neurology, 1997
This article reviews the natural history, taxonomy, physical structure, growth requirements, and molecular structure of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, the causative agent of Lyme disease. These spirochetal bacteria are maintained in nature through an infectious cycle between wild mammals and ticks.
