15-year Borrelia prevalence and species distribution monitoring in Ixodes ricinus/inopinatus populations in the city of Hanover, Germany

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases, 2023
Lyme borreliosis, caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) spirochaetes, is the most common tick-borne disease (TBD) in the Northern Hemisphere. Rising incidences indicate that its epidemiology may be affected by global changes.

Surveillance of Zoonotic Pathogens in Small Mammals Across Forests With Different Levels of Anthropization in Eastern France

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The emergence of infectious diseases associated with land‐use changes is well‐documented. However, the presence and dynamics of zoonotic pathogens in small mammals within European forests, whether from rural development or urban greening, remain underexplored.

Homogeneity of Borrelia japonica and heterogeneity of Borrelia afzelii and ‘Borrelia tanukii' isolated in Japan, determined from ospC gene sequences [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2006
Borrelia afzelii, B. japonica, and 'B. tanukii' isolated from various sources and geographical origins in Japan were characterized by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis and sequencing analysis of the outer surface protein C (OspC) amplicon. B. afzelii and 'B.

Spatial Heterogeneity of Tick‐Borne Pathogens Outpaces Genetic Structuring in Anatolian Dermacentor reticulatus Populations

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Understanding how vector population structure influences pathogen circulation remains a major challenge in tick‐borne disease ecology, particularly in biogeographically transitional regions. Dermacentor reticulatus, a widespread Palearctic tick species and vector of multiple pathogens, provides a useful system to investigate this relationship in a ...

Conjunctival Lesion in a 9‐Year‐Old Boy

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 11, November 2025.
Conjunctival lesion in the inner canthus. ABSTRACT Conjunctival pseudolymphoma is a rare benign lymphoid proliferation that can mimic malignant lymphoma, especially in pediatric patients. Thorough histopathological, immunohistochemical, and molecular evaluation is essential for correct diagnosis and management, avoiding overtreatment.

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.

The Emerging Role of Microbial Biofilm in Lyme Neuroborreliosis

Frontiers in Neurology, 2018
Lyme borreliosis (LB) is the most common tick-borne disease caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi in North America and Borrelia afzelii or Borrelia garinii in Europe and Asia, respectively.

Ag‐Cu Nanoarchitecture for Enhanced LSPR Absorption: the Role of Surface Roughness and near‐field Interactions

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 12, Issue 13, July 14, 2025.
This study investigates the plasmonic properties and biosensing capabilities of a nanocomposite incorporating Cu and Ag nanoparticles for detecting anti‐DbpA antibodies associated with Lyme disease. The enhanced LSPR response is explained through FDTD simulations of Cu–Ag near‐field interactions and increased surface roughness.

Borrelia afzelii-associated seronegative Lyme neuroborreliosis in an immunocompromised patient [PDF]

Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease
This 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.
