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.

T Cell Response to Borrelia garinii, Borrelia afzelii, and Borrelia japonica in Various Congenic Mouse Strains [PDF]
Microbiology and Immunology, 1995 AbstractThe infectivity and T cell response to Borrelia garinii SIKA2, Borrelia afzelii BFOX, and Borrelia japonica 0612, the organisms that cause Lyme disease in Japan, were examined in various inbred and congenic strains of mice. Infectivity differed among the species: B. garinii SIKA2 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.

5. Rodents as hosts for Ixodes ricinus and Borrelia afzelii
, 2016 Ixodes ricinus is the vector of the Lyme borreliosis-causing bacterium Borrelia afzelii in Europe. Larvae of I. ricinus mainly feed on rodents, which are reservoir hosts of B. afzelii. Rodent species vary in their suitability as hosts for ticks and B. afzelii.

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 ...

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 ...
