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.

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.

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.

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.

Navigating infection by pathogenic spirochetes: The host‐bacteria interface at the atomic level

Protein Science, Volume 34, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract Pathogenic spirochetes bind and interact with various host structures and molecules throughout the course of infection. By utilizing their outer surface molecules, spirochetes can effectively modulate their dissemination, interact with immune system regulators, and select specific destination niches within the host.

Clinical Characteristics in Danish Children and Adults Diagnosed With Neuroborreliosis: A Retrospective Study From January 2016 to January 2024

European Journal of Neurology, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction Lyme neuroborreliosis (NB), is caused by tick‐borne spirochetes in the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (Bbsl) genospecies complex. Although the clinical manifestations of NB in adults and children are well documented, understanding neurobiological differences between these groups can improve diagnostic accuracy and treatment ...

Heterologous Surface Display Reveals Conserved Complement Inhibition and Functional Diversification of Borrelia burgdorferi Elp Proteins

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 124, Issue 1, Page 77-90, July 2025.
A novel approach using the Pseudomonas syringae ice nucleation protein (INP) system to present Borrelia burgdorferi lipoproteins on the surface of Escherichia coli reveals conservation of complement inhibitory functions among uncharacterized OspE/F‐like leader peptide (Elp) proteins.
