Disparity Between Serological Reactivity toBorrelia burgdorferiand Evidence of Past Disease in a High‐Risk Group [PDF]

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1998
A prevalence study of past Lyme borreliosis in persons with outdoor occupations was done. Consenting individuals (n = 302) were administered a questionnaire eliciting demographic and occupational data and a clinical history, and were asked to donate a serum specimen for detection of antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi by enzyme-linked immunosorbent ...

Multicentric Study of Seroprevalence of Borrelia Burgdorferi and Anaplasma Phagocytophila in High-Risk Groups in Regions of Central and Southern Italy [PDF]

International Journal of Immunopathology and Pharmacology, 2004
The aim of this study was to evaluate the seroprevalence of B. burgdorferi and A. phagocytophila in populations of workers from 4 Italian regions, known to be exposed to tick bites. A total of 712 serum samples collected were divided as follows: 387 samples were obtained from workers at risk for tick bites and 325 from individuals that were not ...

Is Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Stricto in South America? First Molecular Evidence of Its Presence in Colombia

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2022
The genus Borrelia encompasses spirochetal species that are part of three well-defined groups. Two of these groups contain pathogens that affect humans: the group causing Lyme disease (LDG) and the relapsing fever group (RFG).

Borrelia recurrentis employs a novel multifunctional surface protein with anti-complement, anti-opsonic and invasive potential to escape innate immunity [PDF]

, 2009
Borrelia recurrentis, the etiologic agent of louse-borne relapsing fever in humans, has evolved strategies, including antigenic variation, to evade immune defence, thereby causing severe diseases with high mortality rates.
