Ability to cause erythema migrans differs between Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato isolates [PDF]

, 2013
Background: Lyme borreliosis is a tick-borne disease caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. The variety of characteristic and non-specific clinical manifestations is partially explained by its genetic diversity.

The importance of lizards and small mammals as reservoirs for Borrelia lusitaniae in Portugal [PDF]

, 2014
Borrelia lusitaniae is a pathogen frequent in the Mediterranean area. Apart from lizards, evidence for birds and small mammals as competent reservoirs for this genospecies has been occasional.

Characterization ofBorrelia burgdorferiAggregates [PDF]

Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases, 2009
Lyme disease is caused by the tick-borne spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi. It has been documented that B. burgdorferi form aggregates within ticks and during in vitro culture. However, Borrelia aggregates remain poorly characterized, and their functional significance is unknown.

DipA, a pore-forming protein in the outer membrane of Lyme disease spirochetes exhibits specificity for the permeation of dicarboxylates. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Lyme disease Borreliae are highly dependent on the uptake of nutrients provided by their hosts. Our study describes the identification of a 36 kDa protein that functions as putative dicarboxylate-specific porin in the outer membrane of Lyme disease ...

The Common Shrew (Sorex araneus): A neglected host of tick-borne infections? [PDF]

, 2011
Although the importance of rodents as reservoirs for a number of tick-borne infections is well established, comparatively little is known about the potential role of shrews, despite them occupying similar habitats.

Amplification of the flgE gene provides evidence for the existence of a Brazilian borreliosis

Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 2012
INTRODUCTION: The symptoms of Brazilian borreliosis resemble the clinical manifestations of Lyme disease (LD). However, there are differences between the two in terms of epidemiological and laboratory findings.

The cyclic-di-GMP signaling pathway in the Lyme disease spirochete, [PDF]

, 2014
In nature, the Lyme disease spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi cycles between the unrelated environments of the Ixodes tick vector and mammalian host. In order to survive transmission between hosts, B.

Borrelia burgdorferi

, 2011
The bacterium B. burgdorferi ranks among the family of spirochetes and causes LB, a disease with various symptoms passed on by ticks. It was Willy Burgdorfer who found the disease causing bacterium in 1981 and it has been in the focus of research since. Until now the usual treatment strategy has been the use of antibiotics.

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.
