Comparison of Findings for Patients with Borrelia garinii and Borrelia afzelii Isolated from Cerebrospinal Fluid [PDF]

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2006
The most common cause of Lyme neuroborreliosis in Europe is Borrelia garinii, followed by Borrelia afzelii. However, no series describing patients with culture-confirmed cases of Lyme neuroborreliosis have been published, and no comparison of findings for patients with B. garinii and B.

Are birds reservoir hosts for Borrelia afzelii?

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2010
It is known that birds are competent reservoir hosts of particular Borrelia species like B. garinii and B. valaisiana but not for B. afzelii, a rodent-associated genospecies. Since they can carry infected ticks over long distances, they are also important covectors for Lyme borreliosis spirochaetes.

Clinical appearance of erythema migrans caused by Borrelia afzelii and Borrelia garinii – effect of the patient's sex [PDF]

Wiener klinische Wochenschrift, 2006
The aim in this survey was to study the clinical characteristics of infections caused by Borrelia genospecies in patients with erythema migrans where borrelial origin was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction. The aim was also to study factors influencing the clinical appearance of erythema migrans.The study was conducted in southern Sweden from May ...

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.

Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto and Borrelia afzelii : Population structure and differential pathogenicity

International Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2015
MultiLocus sequence typing (MLST) is considered a powerful method to unveil relationships within bacterial populations and it constitutes an economical and fast alternative to whole genome sequencing. We used this method to understand whether there are differences in human pathogenicity within and between different Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato ...

Colonization and pathology of Borrelia afzelii in its natural hosts

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2019
Studies of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in laboratory mice and humans have shown that spirochaetes disseminate from the site of infection (skin) to internal tissues, and cause various pathological effects. However, less is known about colonization and pathology of Lyme borreliosis spirochaetes in their natural hosts.
