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 (

Surveillance for Borrelia spp. in Upland Game Birds in Pennsylvania, USA

Veterinary Sciences, 2020
The Borrelia genus contains two major clades, the Lyme borreliosis group, which includes the causative agents of Lyme disease/borreliosis (B. burgdorferi sensu stricto and other related B.

Borrelia Lyme Group [PDF]

, 2022
Borreliaceae is a family of the phylum Spirochaetales and includes two genera, Borrelia and Cristispira genus. Borrelia genus is divided into three groups, namely Lyme group (LG), Echidna‐Reptile group (REPG) and Relapsing Fever group (RFG). All Borrelia

Delineation of Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Stricto, Borrelia garinii sp. nov., and Group VS461 Associated with Lyme Borreliosis [PDF]

International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology, 1992
We studied 48 Borrelia isolates that were associated with Lyme borreliosis or were isolated from ticks and identified three DNA relatedness groups by using the S1 nuclease method. The three DNA groups (genospecies) were associated with specific rRNA gene restriction patterns, protein electrophoresis patterns, and patterns of reactivity with murine ...

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.

The Surveillance of Borrelia Species in Camelus dromedarius and Associated Ticks: The First Detection of Borrelia miyamotoi in Egypt

Veterinary Sciences, 2023
Tick-borne diseases (TBDs) are emerging and re-emerging infections that have a worldwide impact on human and animal health. Lyme borreliosis (LB) is a severe zoonotic disease caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) transmitted to ...

BIOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF LYME DISEASE SPIROCHETES: UNIQUE BACTERIA OF THE BORRELIA BURGDORFERI SPECIES GROUP [PDF]

Biomedical Papers, 2007
Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato is a group of at least twelve closely related species some of which are responsible for Lyme disease, the most frequent zoonosis in Europe and the USA. Many of the biological features of Borrelia are unique in prokaryotes and very interesting not only from the medical viewpoint but also from the view of molecular biology.

Molecular identification of Borrelia spirochetes in questing Ixodes ricinus from northwestern Spain

Parasites & Vectors, 2017
Background Ixodes ricinus, the predominant tick species in Europe, can transmit the causative agents of important human diseases such as Lyme borreliosis (LB), caused by Borrelia spirochetes.

Seropositivity of Borrelia burgdorferi in Risky Groups in Van Region, Turkey

Mikrobiyoloji Bulteni, 2015
Lyme borreliosis, which is more prevalent in the northern hemisphere, is the most common tick-borne contagious disease among people living in the North America and Europe. The causative agent of Lyme borreliosis, Borrelia burgdorferi, is transmitted by the bites of ticks of the genus Ixodes. In Turkey, the seroprevalence of Lyme disease is increased in

The Borrelia afzelii outer membrane protein BAPKO_0422 binds human Factor-H and is predicted to form a membrane-spanning beta-barrel [PDF]

, 2015
The deep evolutionary history of the Spirochetes places their branch point early in the evolution of the diderms, before the divergence of the present day Proteobacteria.
