PLOS ONE, 2016 Lyme borreliosis is caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, a fastidious bacterium that replicates slowly and requires special conditions to grow in the laboratory. Borrelia isolation from clinical material is a golden standard for microbiological diagnosis of borrelial infection. Important factors that affect in vitro borrelia growth

Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, the agent of Lyme borreliosis: life in the wilds
Parasite, 2008 In Europe, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (sl) the agent of Lyme borreliosis circulates in endemic areas between Ixodes ricinus ticks and a large number of vertebrate hosts upon which ticks feed.

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies
Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 7, Page 990-1015, August 2026.ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.

Borrelia afzelii and immune response of BALB/c mice [PDF]
Acta Veterinaria Brno, 2011 The aim of our study was to find a possible existence of various vaccination effects on the formation of antibodies against three individual Borrelia afzelii strains (dead cell suspension) isolated from a vector, potential vector and host of this spirochaete, which makes this experiment ...

Identification of Borrelia species after creation of an in-house MALDI-TOF MS database.
PLoS ONE, 2014 Lyme borreliosis (LB) is a multisystemic disease caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (sl) complex transmitted to humans by Ixodes ticks. B. burgdorferi sl complex, currently comprising at least 19 genospecies, includes the main pathogenic species ...

Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato Employs Several Escape Mechanisms to Bypass the Human Defense System
European Journal of Immunology, Volume 56, Issue 5, May 2026.Integrated overview of host defense and immune evasion in Lyme Borreliosis. Bbsl evades immunity through tick saliva‐mediated suppression of innate defenses, TLR2/NOD2‐driven cytokine dysregulation, and interference with JAK/STAT and CIITA‐dependent antigen presentation.

Lyme Disease—An Unusual Cause of a Mitral Valve Endocarditis
Mayo Clinic Proceedings: Innovations, Quality & Outcomes, 2018 Lyme disease is a tick-borne infection caused by Borrelia burgdorferi. Cardiac manifestations are rare, occurring in 0.5% to 10% of patients. Lyme carditis and atrioventricular block are established manifestations of Lyme disease.

Evaluation of OspA vaccination-induced serological correlates of protection against Lyme borreliosis in a mouse model. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 For clinical development of a novel multivalent OspA vaccine against Lyme borreliosis, serological assays are required which can be used to establish immune correlates of protection against infection with Borrelia.Four assays (an OspA IgG ELISA, a ...
