Tailored Functionalization of Plasmonic AgNPs/C:H:N:O Nanocomposite for Sensitive and Selective Detection

Journal of Biophotonics, Volume 18, Issue 2, February 2025.
AgNPs/C:H:N:O nanocomposite as a highly selective and sensitive transducer for detecting Borrelia bacteria was developed. The functionalized surface enables precise immobilization of spirochetes, with a measurable LSPR red‐shift indicating pathogen presence.

Woodland expansion and deer management shape tick abundance and Lyme disease hazard

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 1, January–March 2025.
Woodland expansion may eventually, once the trees mature, increase the risk of ticks and Lyme disease. However, controlling deer populations could be a solution to mitigate this issue. Abstract The largest land use change in Europe is woodland expansion, through planting and natural regeneration. Unforeseen consequences of this could include changes in

A mutagenic PCR identifies isolates of Borrelia garinii responsible for Lyme borreliosis [PDF]

, 2017
Borrelia garinii is one of the three major Borreliae responsible for Lyme borreliosis in Europe. We have characterized a protein of B. garinii (VS102) and a genomic fragment from the gene encoding this protein was cloned. The DNA sequence of the fragment

Lyme neuroborreliosis in Japan: Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato as a cause of meningitis of previously undetermined etiology in hospitalized patients outside of the island of Hokkaido, 2010–2021

European Journal of Neurology, Volume 32, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract Background and Purpose Clinical manifestations of Lyme borreliosis (LB), caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (Bbsl), include erythema migrans, Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB), carditis, and arthritis. LB is a notifiable disease in Japan with <30 surveillance‐reported LB cases annually, predominately from Hokkaido Prefecture.
