Genomic and phenotypic characterization of Borrelia afzelii BO23 and Borrelia garinii CIP 103362. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2018 In recent years, the number of Lyme disease or borreliosis cases in Eurasia has been dramatically increasing. This tick-borne disease is caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, which includes B. burgdorferi sensu stricto, the main species found in North America, and B. afzelii and B.

Inefficient co-feeding transmission of Borrelia afzelii in two common European songbirds. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2017 AbstractThe spirochete bacterium Borrelia afzelii is the most common cause of Lyme borreliosis in Europe. This tick-borne pathogen can establish systemic infections in rodents but not in birds. However, several field studies have recovered larval Ixodes ricinus ticks infected with B.

Complete genome sequence of Borrelia afzelii K78 and comparative genome analysis.
PLoS ONE, 2015 The main Borrelia species causing Lyme borreliosis in Europe and Asia are Borrelia afzelii, B. garinii, B. burgdorferi and B. bavariensis. This is in contrast to the United States, where infections are exclusively caused by B. burgdorferi.

Decorin Binding by DbpA and B of Borrelia garinii, Borrelia afzelii, and Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Stricto [PDF]
The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2011 Decorin adherence is crucial in the pathogenesis of Lyme borreliosis. Decorin-binding proteins (Dbp) A and B are the adhesins that mediate this interaction. DbpA and B of Borrelia garinii, Borrelia afzelii, and Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto (ss) differ in their amino acid sequence, but little attention has been paid to the potential difference in ...

The First Study of Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Lato Persistence in Small Mammals Captured in the Ixodes persulcatus Distribution Area in Western Siberia [PDF]
PathogensBorrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) persistence in reservoir hosts is essential for the maintenance of the spirochaetes in the enzootic cycle. In this study, we investigated the persistence of Siberian B. burgdorferi s.l. strains in naturally infected

Whole-Genome Sequences of Two Borrelia afzelii and Two Borrelia garinii Lyme Disease Agent Isolates [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 2011 ABSTRACTHuman Lyme disease is commonly caused by several species of spirochetes in theBorreliagenus. In Eurasia these species are largelyBorrelia afzelii,B. garinii,B. burgdorferi, andB. bavariensissp. nov.
