Borrelia burgdorferi Manipulates Innate and Adaptive Immunity to Establish Persistence in Rodent Reservoir Hosts. [PDF]

, 2017
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 ...

Genomic Fingerprinting by Arbitrarily Primed Polymerase Chain Reaction Resolves Borrelia burgdorferi into Three Distinct Phyletic Groups [PDF]

International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology, 1992
The causative agent of Lyme disease, Borrelia burgdorferi, was first identified by Burgdorfer et al. in 1982 (W. Burgdorfer, A. G. Barbour, S. F. Hayes, J. L. Benach, E. Grunwaldt, and J. P. Davis, Science 216:1317-1319, 1982) and was isolated by Barbour et al. in 1983 (A. G. Barbour, W. Burgdorfer, S. E. Hayes, O. Peter, and A.

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

Abilities of OspA proteins from different seroprotective groups of Borrelia burgdorferi to protect hamsters from infection [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1995
The ability of vaccination with recombinant OspA from six seroprotective groups of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato to induce protection against infection with homologous and other Lyme spirochetes was examined in hamsters. Antisera generated against the OspA proteins of B.

Detection of Borrelia afzelii, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, Borrelia garinii and group VS116 by PCR in skin biopsies of patients with erythema migrans and acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 1997
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of two polymerase chain reaction (PCR) procedures using skin biopsies of 20 erythema migrans (EM) and 24 acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans (ACA) patients. METHODS: One assay amplified a fragment of the outer surface protein (Osp) A gene. The second method amplified the spacer region between the 5S and
