Genetic variation in transmission success of the Lyme borreliosis pathogen Borrelia afzelii
Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2015 The vector-to-host and host-to-vector transmission steps are the two critical events that define the life cycle of any vector-borne pathogen. We expect negative genetic correlations between these two transmission phenotypes, if parasite genotypes specialized at invading the vector are less effective at infecting the vertebrate host and vice versa.

Fipronil prevents transmission of Lyme disease spirochetes
ParasitologyLyme disease, a tick-borne illness caused by Borrelia spirochetes, poses a significant threat to public health. While acaricides effectively control ticks on pets and livestock, their impact on pathogen transmission is often unclear.
