Closely-related Borrelia burgdorferi (sensu stricto) strains exhibit similar fitness in single infections and asymmetric competition in multiple infections [PDF]
Wild hosts are commonly co-infected with complex, genetically diverse, pathogen communities. Competition is expected between genetically or ecologically similar pathogen strains which may influence patterns of coexistence.

Lyme disease in childhood: look at the problem and clinical case
Literature review considers the problem of Lyme disease (LD), also known as systemic tick-borne borreliosis, Lyme borreliosis. Currently, the term “Lyme disease” refers to the entire group of etiologically independent ixodic tick-borne borelliosis. More

The Role of Companion Animals as ‘Sentinels’ From the One Health Perspective
One Health emphasizes the interconnection of human, animal and environmental health. As emotional extensions of humans, companion dogs and cats can serve as sentinels, detecting hazards that can help protect human health from the One Health perspective. When symptoms appear in pets, owners should notice the changes that may pose risks to both human and

Ticks and ear biopsies were collected from wild small rodents in 2011 and 2012 in the northern Apennines (Italy), up to 1650 m above sea level. Apodemus spp. (n = 83) and Myodes glareolus (n = 22) were infested by Ixodes ricinus (192 larvae and two nymphs), Dermacentor marginatus (179 larvae and 29 nymphs), and Ixodes trianguliceps (three larvae and ...

Biofilm Associated Persistence and Drug Tolerance in Mycobacteria Within Host Microenvironments
ABSTRACT Biofilms formed by mycobacteria, particularly Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), represent a major challenge in tuberculosis (TB) treatment due to their highly organized structure and their capacity to induce phenotypic drug tolerance. These three‐dimensional bacterial aggregates are embedded in a self‐produced extracellular matrix that ...

Structural characterisation of outer membrane proteins from Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato by small-angle X-ray scattering [PDF]
Forming the interface between the bacterial cell and the host, the outer membrane of Borrelia is known to play a key role in pathogenicity. Although Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato are considered to be Gram-negative, their outer membrane is unique ...
