The urokinase receptor (uPAR) facilitates clearance of Borrelia burgdorferi. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2009 The causative agent of Lyme borreliosis, the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi, has been shown to induce expression of the urokinase receptor (uPAR); however, the role of uPAR in the immune response against Borrelia has never been investigated.

Statistical analysis of the distribution of amino acids in Borrelia burgdorferi genome under different genetic codes [PDF]
, 2004 The genetic code is considered to be universal. In order to test if some statistical properties of the coding bacterial genome were due to inherent properties of the genetic code, we compared the autocorrelation function, the scaling properties and the maximum entropy of the distribution of distances of amino acids in sequences obtained by translating ...

The role of Borrelia burgdorferi infection in scleroderma
Rheumatology, 2014 Borrelia burgdorferi , a Gram-negative, spiral-shaped bacterium transmitted to humans via tick bites, is the etiologic agent of borreliosis (Lyme disease) with diverse clinical manifestations. There are several types of pathological lesions in the course

A Large Scale Spatio-temporal Binomial Regression Model for Estimating Seroprevalence Trends [PDF]
, 2018 This paper develops a large-scale Bayesian spatio-temporal binomial regression model for the purpose of investigating regional trends in antibody prevalence to Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease. The proposed model uses Gaussian predictive processes to estimate the spatially varying trends and a conditional autoregressive model ...

Detecting Lyme Disease Using Antibody-Functionalized Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube Transistors [PDF]
, 2013 We examined the potential of antibody-functionalized single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) field-effect transistors (FETs) for use as a fast and accurate sensor for a Lyme disease antigen. Biosensors were fabricated on oxidized silicon wafers using chemical vapor deposition grown carbon nanotubes that were functionalized using diazonium salts ...

Borrelia burgdorferi, the Causative Agent of Lyme Disease, Forms Drug-Tolerant Persister Cells
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2015 Borrelia burgdorferi is the causative agent of Lyme disease, which affects an estimated 300,000 people annually in the United States. When treated early, the disease usually resolves, but when left untreated, it can result in symptoms such as arthritis ...
