Spotted fever group rickettsiae and Anaplasma phagocytophilum in Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato seropositive individuals with or without Lyme disease: A retrospective analysis

New Microbes and New Infections, 2023
Background: The Ixodes ricinus tick is the main vector of Borrelia burgdorferi and tick-borne encephalitis virus in Switzerland. Spotted fever group Rickettsiae (SFG) and Anaplasma phagocytophilum have been detected in Swiss ticks, however, information ...

Influence of tick age and land-use on Borrelia burgdorferi s.l. in Ixodes ricinus ticks from the Swabian Alb, Germany [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors
Background In Europe, Ixodes ricinus ticks transmit various zoonotic pathogens, including Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.), the causative agent of Lyme borreliosis (LB). However, the relationship between Borrelia prevalence, bacterial load in unfed

Borrelial Diseases Across Eurasia [PDF]

Biology
This comprehensive review explores the distribution, diversity, and epidemiology of tick-borne borrelioses across Eurasia, focusing on Lyme borreliosis (LB) and other Borrelia-related infections. The genus Borrelia is categorized into three major groups,

Results of Practical Evaluation of the Optimized Method for Multilocus Sequence Analysis of Pathogenic Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato Group

Проблемы особо опасных инфекций
The aim of the study was to test the possibility of identifying isolates of pathogenic Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato by the specificity of linked sequences of their recA and ospA gene loci, i.e.

Diagnostic value of PCR analysis of synovial fluid for the diagnosis of Lyme borreliosis in dogs [PDF]

Науковий вісник ветеринарної медицини, 2023
Lyme borreliosis, also known as Lyme disease, is a chronic multiorgan disease of humans and animals transmitted by ticks of the Ixodidae family and caused by a group of spirochetes Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato.

Unexpected failure of Ixodes scapularis nymphs to transmit a North American Borrelia bissettiae strain

Current Research in Parasitology and Vector-Borne Diseases, 2021
Globally, the Borrelia burgdorferi (sensu lato) complex comprises more than 21 species of spirochetes. Although the USA is home to a diverse fauna of Lyme disease group Borrelia species, only two are considered responsible for human clinical disease ...

Seroprotective groups among isolates of Borrelia burgdorferi [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1993
We demonstrated that different seroprotective groups exist among isolates of Borrelia burgdorferi and Borrelia garinii. The major group was composed of isolates 297, B31, S-1-10, MMTI, IPT, and ATCC 35211 and 21 isolates obtained from California, Illinois, New York, Texas, and Wisconsin. A second group was composed of European isolates PBi and G25.

Individualisation of two new genomic groups among AmericanBorrelia burgdorferisensu lato strains [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1994
We developed a quick typing method for Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato strains using a fla gene-based PCR assay, followed by dot blot hybridization with non-radioactive species-specific probes. Thirty-six out of 46 strains belonged to one of the four described species (B. burgdorferi sensu stricto n = 11, B. garinii n = 11, B.

Identification of different Borrelia burgdorferi genomic groups from Scottish ticks [PDF]

Molecular Pathology, 2000
To characterise 12 Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato isolates cultured from ticks collected in the Highlands of Scotland.Three molecular methods were used: an outer surface membrane protein A (OSP A) gene polymerase chain reaction (PCR) designed to give different molecular weight products with different genomic groups, randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (
