Prevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato genetic markers in blood-sucking ticks in suburban park zones in Saint Petersburg

Инфекция и иммунитет, 2020
Tick-borne bacterial and viral infections are widespread in middle latitudes of the Northern hemisphere. Natural foci of such infections coincide with geographic areas inhabited by ixodid ticks.

Glycerophosphodiester Phosphodiesterase Identified as Non-Reliable Serological Marker for Borrelia miyamotoi Disease

Microorganisms, 2020
The relapsing fever group Borrelia miyamotoi is an emerging tick-borne pathogen. Diagnosis of infection is currently mainly based on serological methods detecting antibodies against B. miyamotoi glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase (GlpQ).

Ag‐Cu Nanoarchitecture for Enhanced LSPR Absorption: the Role of Surface Roughness and near‐field Interactions

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study investigates the plasmonic properties and biosensing capabilities of a nanocomposite incorporating Cu and Ag nanoparticles for detecting anti‐DbpA antibodies associated with Lyme disease. The enhanced LSPR response is explained through FDTD simulations of Cu–Ag near‐field interactions and increased surface roughness.

Extravasation of Borrelia burgdorferi Across the Blood–Brain Barrier is an Extremely Rare Event

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Lyme disease is caused by vascular dissemination of the bacteria Borrelia. In a 3D tissue‐engineered microvessel model, Borrelia extravasation across the blood–brain barrier is extremely rare, implying that neuroborreliosis is not caused via direct cytotoxicity.

Could the Optiplex Borrelia assay replace the traditional, two-step method of diagnosing Lyme disease?

Annals of Agricultural and Environmental Medicine, 2022
Introduction and objective Serological assays for Lyme disease (LD) routinely performed in laboratories often give inconclusive results, thereby making correct diagnosis difficult and delaying treatment.

Skin Diseases in Long‐Distance Runners

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Long‐distance running, including both road running and trail/mountain running, has significantly increased in popularity in recent years. The prolonged, repetitive physical activity combined with environmental exposures predisposes runners to a range of dermatological problems.

Borrelia bavariensis: Vector Switch, Niche Invasion, and Geographical Spread of a Tick-Borne Bacterial Parasite

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019
The Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato species complex currently consists of more than 20 species that utilize small vertebrate hosts as reservoirs and ticks of the genus Ixodes as vectors.
