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).

Proteomic as an Exploratory Approach to Develop Vaccines Against Tick-Borne Diseases Using Lyme Borreliosis as a Test Case

Vaccines, 2020
Tick-borne diseases affecting humans and animals are on the rise worldwide. Vaccines constitute an effective control measure, but very few are available. We selected Lyme borreliosis, a bacterial infection transmitted by the hard tick Ixodes, to validate

Infection Kinetics and Tropism of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in Mouse After Natural (via Ticks) or Artificial (Needle) Infection Depends on the Bacterial Strain

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Borrelia burgdorferi sl is a complex of pathogen bacteria transmitted to the host by Ixodes ticks. European Ixodes ricinus ticks transmit different B. burgdorferi species, pathogenic to human.

Identification and Structural Characterisation of Novel Outer Membrane Proteins in the genus Borrelia [PDF]

Although considered Gram-negative the outer membrane (OM) of Borrelia is unique, consisting of a variety of glycolipids, a significant number of surface exposed lipoproteins and a smaller number of integral membrane-spanning β-barrels.

A high fidelity approach to assembling the complex Borrelia genome

BMC Genomics, 2023
Background Bacteria of the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) complex can cause Lyme borreliosis. Different B. burgdorferi s.l. genospecies vary in their host and vector associations and human pathogenicity but the genetic basis for these adaptations
