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.

Comparative analysis of Borrelia's Defence mechanisms and their impact on genetic manipulation of low-passage isolates of <i>Borrelia afzelii</i> and <i>Borrelia garinii</i>. [PDF]
Curr Res Microb SciBorrelia, a highly prevalent tick-borne pathogen, has a genome with a linear chromosome and numerous linear and circular plasmids. There are three groups of Borrelia: Lyme borreliosis, relapsing fever, and Echidna-reptile. In Europe, Borrelia afzelii and Borrelia garinii are the main causative agents of Lyme borreliosis.

Susceptibility to infection with Borrelia afzelii and TLR2 polymorphism in a wild reservoir host. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 AbstractThe study of polymorphic immune genes in host populations is critical for understanding genetic variation in susceptibility to pathogens. Controlled infection experiments are necessary to separate variation in the probability of exposure from genetic variation in susceptibility to infection, but such experiments are rare for wild vertebrate ...

Modeling the effects of variable feeding patterns of larval ticks on the transmission of Borrelia lusitaniae and Borrelia afzelii [PDF]
Theoretical Population Biology, 2017 Spirochetes belonging to the Borrelia burgdoferi sensu lato (sl) group cause Lyme Borreliosis (LB), which is the most commonly reported vector-borne zoonosis in Europe. B. burgdorferi sl is maintained in nature in a complex cycle involving Ixodes ricinus

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 ...
