Extravasation of Borrelia burgdorferi Across the Blood–Brain Barrier is an Extremely Rare Event
Lyme disease is caused by vascular dissemination of the bacteria Borrelia. In a 3D tissue‐engineered microvessel model, Borrelia extravasation across the blood–brain barrier is extremely rare, implying that neuroborreliosis is not caused via direct cytotoxicity.

Co-infections with multiple pathogens in natural populations of Ixodes persulcatus ticks in Mongolia
Background In Mongolia, the taiga tick Ixodes persulcatus is the major vector of tick-borne pathogens. Knowledge about co-infections of these pathogens in ticks is necessary both for understanding their persistence in nature and for diagnosing and ...

Borrelia burgdorferi: Carbon Metabolism and the Tick-Mammal Enzootic Cycle
Borrelia burgdorferi, the spirochetal agent of Lyme disease, is a zoonotic pathogen that is maintained in a natural cycle that typically involves mammalian reservoir hosts and a tick vector of the Ixodes species.

Long‐term survival in a dog with suspected primary nodal plasmacytoma treated with surgical excision
Abstract An 8‐year‐old Staffordshire bull terrier presented for left submandibular lymphadenopathy. Cytology showed a monomorphic population of mature plasma cells suggestive of plasma cell neoplasia. On physical examination, no other lymphadenomegaly, cutaneous or oral lesions were found.
