Borrelia burgdorferi and Borrelia miyamotoi in Atlantic Canadian wildlife
PLoS ONE, 2022 Borrelia burgdorferi and Borrelia miyamotoi are tick-vectored zoonotic pathogens maintained in wildlife species. Tick populations are establishing in new areas globally in response to climate change and other factors. New Brunswick is a Canadian maritime

Moonlighting enzymes of <i>Borrelia burgdorferi</i>. [PDF]
mBioABSTRACT Moonlighting enzymes are increasingly recognized in bacteria with dual functions depending on whether they are intracellular or expressed on the surface. Enzymes of the glycolytic pathway are among the most frequently associated with moonlighting functions and lack the signal sequences needed ...

Hemolytic activity of Borrelia burgdorferi [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1992 Zones of beta-hemolysis occurred around colonies of Borrelia burgdorferi grown on Barbour-Stoenner-Kelly medium containing agarose and horse blood. Blood plates were inoculated with either the infective strain Sh-2-82 or noninfective strain B-31 in an overlay and incubated in a candle jar. Both strains of B. burgdorferi displayed beta-hemolysis after 1

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 ...

Chemotaxis in Borrelia burgdorferi [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1998 ABSTRACT Borrelia burgdorferi is a motile spirochete which has been identified as the causative microorganism in Lyme disease. The physiological functions which govern the motility of this organism have not been elucidated. In this study, we found that motility of B.

Diversity of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in ticks and small mammals from different habitats
Parasites & Vectors, 2022 Background Ixodid ticks are important vectors for zoonotic pathogens, with Ixodes ricinus being the most important in Europe. Rodents are hosts of immature life stages of I.

Spirochetal Lipoproteins and Immune Evasion. [PDF]
, 2017 Spirochetes are a major threat to public health. However, the exact pathogenesis of spirochetal diseases remains unclear. Spirochetes express lipoproteins that often determine the cross talk between the host and spirochetes.

Genetics ofBorrelia burgdorferi [PDF]
Annual Review of Genetics, 2012 The spirochetes in the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato genospecies group cycle in nature between tick vectors and vertebrate hosts. The current assemblage of B. burgdorferi sensu lato, of which three species cause Lyme disease in humans, originated from a rapid species radiation that occurred near the origin of the clade.
