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

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 ...

Complementation of a Borrelia afzelii OspC mutant highlights the crucial role of OspC for dissemination of Borrelia afzelii in Ixodes ricinus [PDF]
International Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2007 Alteration of the outer surface protein (Osp) composition--especially that of OspA and OspC--seems to be important for the adaptation of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato to its endothermic hosts (mammals) and poikilothermic vectors (ticks). OspA possibly mediates adherence to tick midgut cells thus enabling the borreliae to survive in the vector, while ...

Borrelia afzelii-associated seronegative Lyme neuroborreliosis in an immunocompromised patient [PDF]
Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious DiseaseThis case highlights the diagnostic complexity of Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB) in immunosuppressed patients. A 62-year-old man with a history of follicular lymphoma, previously treated with R-Bendamustine and currently rituximab, presented with generalized symptoms and systemic inflammation.

Scientific Reports, 2021 Lyme disease is a tick-borne infectious disease caused by the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex. However, the distribution of Borrelia genospecies and the tissue detection rate of Borrelia in wild rodents have rarely been investigated.

Early cytokine release in response to live Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Lato Spirochetes is largely complement independent. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 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,

Parasites & Vectors, 2021 Complement has been considered as an important factor impacting the host–pathogen association of spirochetes belonging to the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex, and may play a role in the spirochete’s ecology.
