Correlation property of length sequences based on global structure of complete genome [PDF]
This paper considers three kinds of length sequences of the complete genome. Detrended fluctuation analysis, spectral analysis, and the mean distance spanned within time $L$ are used to discuss the correlation property of these sequences.

Suppression of Long-Lived Humoral Immunity Following Borrelia burgdorferi Infection
Lyme Disease caused by infection with Borrelia burgdorferi is an emerging infectious disease and already by far the most common vector-borne disease in the U.S. Similar to many other infections, infection with B.

Molecular detection of pathogens in an equine fever diagnostic panel: 2019–2023
Abstract Background A common diagnostic approach for febrile horses is to test for a panel of potential pathogens. Panels are curated by expert opinion and vary between diagnostic laboratories. Objectives To report the results of a newly developed equine fever diagnostic panel (EFDP) between 2019 and 2023 and evaluate the frequency of positive results.

Abstract Background Infection has been suspected as a risk factor for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). However, previous research has focused on specific pathogens and rarely examined the influence of infection on disease progression. Objectives To assess whether hospital‐treated infections correlate with the risk and prognosis of ALS.

Biomechanics of Borrelia burgdorferi Vascular Interactions [PDF]
Systemic dissemination of microbes is critical for progression of many infectious diseases and is associated with most mortality due to bacterial infection. The physical mechanisms mediating a key dissemination step, bacterial association with vascular endothelia in blood vessels, remain unknown.

Detection of Borrelia burgdorferi in historic tick samples and its relevance to the white-tailed deer population in New Hampshire [PDF]
The cases of Lyme disease in New Hampshire have increased over time. There are speculations that increasing number of Lyme disease cases in New Hampshire are due to environmental factors, such as warmer climate, white-footed mouse population, white ...

Borrelia burgdorferi Manipulates Innate and Adaptive Immunity to Establish Persistence in Rodent Reservoir Hosts. [PDF]
Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato species complex is capable of establishing persistent infections in a wide variety of species, particularly rodents. Infection is asymptomatic or mild in most reservoir host species, indicating successful co-evolution of ...

Antibody-resistant mutants of Borrelia burgdorferi: in vitro selection and characterization. [PDF]
We used polyclonal antisera and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to inhibit the growth of clonal populations of two strains of Borrelia burgdorferi, the Lyme disease agent, and thereby select for antibody-resistant mutants.
