The First Study of Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Lato Persistence in Small Mammals Captured in the Ixodes persulcatus Distribution Area in Western Siberia [PDF]
Borrelia 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

Early cytokine release in response to live Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Lato Spirochetes is largely complement independent. [PDF]
AIM: Here we investigated the role of complement activation in phagocytosis and the release of cytokines and chemokines in response to two clinical isolates: Borrelia afzelii K78, which is resistant to complement-mediated lysis, and Borrelia garinii LU59,
