Unexpected failure of Ixodes scapularis nymphs to transmit a North American Borrelia bissettiae strain

Current Research in Parasitology and Vector-Borne Diseases, 2021
Globally, the Borrelia burgdorferi (sensu lato) complex comprises more than 21 species of spirochetes. Although the USA is home to a diverse fauna of Lyme disease group Borrelia species, only two are considered responsible for human clinical disease ...

Characterization of biofilm formation by Borrelia burgdorferi in vitro. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease, has long been known to be capable of forming aggregates and colonies. It was recently demonstrated that Borrelia burgdorferi aggregate formation dramatically changes the in vitro response to ...

Bactericidal Activity of Octenidine to Various Genospecies of Borrelia burgdorferi, Sensu Lato Spirochetes in Vitro and in Vivo [PDF]

Polish Journal of Microbiology, 2017
The aim of our studies was to invent a reliable method for detection of the bactericidal activity of disinfectants against Borrelia burgdorferi in suspension (in vitro) and in cell line cultures (in vivo). In the suspension method, 0.01% octenidine at 20&

Serological evidence of possible Borrelia afzelii lyme disease in Greece

New Microbes and New Infections, 2022
Suggestions that Lyme disease exists in Greece remain controversial and no study to date has definitively identified the presence of a Borrelia species that infects humans.

Borrelia burgdorferi

Fine Focus
Since its recent discovery in the late 1970s, Lyme Disease (LD) has been a growing public health concern, especially in the United States where it accounts for the majority of vector-borne infections each year. The causative agent, Borrelia burgdorferi, is transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected Ixodes tick. This pathogen uses many unique

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 ...

A Novel High Discriminatory Protocol for the Detection of Borrelia afzelii, Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Stricto and Borrelia garinii in Ticks

Pathogens, 2022
Bacteria of the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex are the causative agents of Lyme borreliosis (LB). Even if the conventional diagnosis of LB does not rely on the species itself, an accurate species identification within the complex will provide a ...

Genotypic variation and mixtures of Lyme Borrelia in Ixodes ticks from North America and Europe. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
Lyme disease, caused by various species of Borrelia, is transmitted by Ixodes ticks in North America and Europe. Studies have shown the genotype of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto (s.s.) or the species of B.

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.
