Spatial modeling of Borrelia genospecies in human-biting ticks from the French citizen science programme CiTIQUE [PDF]

Scientific Reports
In Europe, Lyme borreliosis is the most common vector-borne human disease, mainly caused by Borrelia afzelii and Borrelia garinii, two species of the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (Bbsl) complex transmitted by Ixodes ricinus. Assessing the spatial risk

Resistance of Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Lato Isolates from Serbia to Human Complement [PDF]

Pathogens
Serbia is characterised by the high prevalence and diversity of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato strains in ticks, but the reported incidence of Lyme borreliosis is much lower than that in regions with a similar prevalence of Borrelia in ticks.

Tick-to-host transmission differs between <i>Borrelia afzelii</i> strains. [PDF]

Microbiol Spectr, 2023
ABSTRACT Many vector-borne pathogens establish multiple-strain infections in the vertebrate host and the arthropod vector. Multiple-strain infections in the host influence strain acquisition by naive vectors. Whether multiple-strain infections in the vector influence strain-specific transmission to naive hosts remains unknown ...

Оптимізація полімеразної ланцюгової реакції для моніторингу інфікованості іксодових кліщів Borrelia burgdorferi [PDF]

Науковий вісник ветеринарної медицини, 2022
Визначення показників інфікованості іксодових кліщів збудниками кліщового бореліозу та встановлення належності до патогенного генотипу за допомогою методу ПЛР є важливою складовою для проведення моніторингу, оцінки ризиків та контролю епізоотичної ...

Optimising Transformation Efficiency in Borrelia: Unravelling the Role of the Restriction-Modification System of Borrelia afzelii and Borrelia garinii. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci
Borrelia spp. are transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected tick. In Europe, Borrelia afzelii and Borrelia garinii are the main causative agents of Lyme borreliosis, one of the most prevalent tick-borne diseases in the northern hemisphere. In bacteria such as Borrelia spp., a restriction-modification system (RMS) protects against the harmful ...

Borrelia afzelii Hepatitis in Patient Treated with Venetoclax and Obinutuzumab, Switzerland. [PDF]

Emerg Infect Dis
We report Borrelia afzelii hepatitis in an immunosuppressed patient in Switzerland receiving anti-CD20 therapy and venetoclax. Diagnosis was made by metagenomic sequencing and PCR. This case underscores the need to consider Lyme borreliosis in unexplained hepatitis cases and highlights the value of molecular diagnostics in immunosuppressed patients ...

Mycotic abdominal aortic aneurysm caused by Borrelia afzelii: a case report. [PDF]

J Med Case Rep, 2022
Abstract Background Inflammatory aneurysms and mycotic aneurysms make up a minority of abdominal aortic aneurysms. Mainly autoimmune mechanisms are proposed in the pathogenesis of inflammatory aneurysms, and it is not routine to check for infectious agents as disease culprits.

Borrelia afzelii alters reproductive success in a rodent host. [PDF]

Proc Biol Sci, 2018
The impact of a pathogen on the fitness and behaviour of its natural host depends upon the host–parasite relationship in a given set of environmental conditions. Here, we experimentally investigated the effects ofBorrelia afzelii,one of the aetiological agents of Lyme disease in humans, on the fitness of its natural rodent host, the bank vole (Myodes ...
