Prevalence and diversity of Borrelia spp. in questing ticks from urban green spaces in Lithuania

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
Lithuania is a highly endemic area for Lyme borreliosis (LB), and Ixodes ricinus, the primary vector of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) in Europe, is widespread throughout the country.

The genetic diversity of Borrelia afzelii is not maintained by the diversity of the rodent hosts. [PDF]

, 2018
Small mammals are essential in the enzootic cycle of many tick-borne pathogens (TBP). To understand their contribution to the genetic diversity of Borrelia afzelii, the most prevalent TBP in questing Ixodes ricinus, we compared the genetic variants of B.

Adhesion Mechanisms of Borrelia burgdorferi [PDF]

, 2011
The Borrelia are widely distributed agents of Lyme disease and Relapsing Fever. All are vector-borne zoonotic pathogens, have segmented genomes, and enigmatic mechanisms of pathogenesis. Adhesion to mammalian and tick substrates is one pathogenic mechanism that has been widely studied.

Minimal-Change Disease Secondary to Borrelia burgdorferi Infection

Case Reports in Nephrology, 2012
Lyme borreliosis is a chronic illness caused by tick-transmitted spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi. Borreliosis can be extremely threatening if it is not diagnosed and treated in early stages. Kidneys are not typically involved in the disease.

Definite neuroborreliosis with atypical antibody-profiles: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports
Background According to European Academy of Neurology guidelines, a positive Borrelia burgdorferi antibody index is required for diagnosing definite Lyme neuroborreliosis. Exceptions to the typical antibody production may be seen in the earlier phases of

Cryo-electron Tomography Elucidates the Molecular Architecture of \u3ci\u3eTreponema pallidum\u3c/i\u3e, the Syphilis Spirochete [PDF]

, 2009
Cryo-electron tomography (CET) was used to examine the native cellular organization of Treponema pallidum, the syphilis spirochete. T. pallidum cells appeared to form flat waves, did not contain an outer coat and, except for bulges over the basal bodies ...

Presence of Borrelia Spirochetes in White Stork (Ciconia ciconia), White-Tailed Eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla), and Eastern Imperial Eagle (Aquila heliaca): Hospitalized in a Wild Bird Hospital and Sanctuary (Hortobágy, Hungary)

Animals
Wild birds across the globe can carry the causative agent of avian borreliosis, Borrelia anserina, and that of human Lyme borreliosis, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in the ticks attached to them. Currently, only limited proof exists for the presence of

Diversity within Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato genospecies in Switzerland by recA gene sequence [PDF]

, 2017
A total of 874 Ixodes ricinus ticks were collected in Switzerland to investigate the genetic diversity of the Borrelia population. We integrated to the RT-PCR method the DNA sequence analysis of a 162-bp fragment of the recA gene.
