Molecular detection of pathogens in an equine fever diagnostic panel: 2019–2023

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background A common diagnostic approach for febrile horses is to test for a panel of potential pathogens. Panels are curated by expert opinion and vary between diagnostic laboratories. Objectives To report the results of a newly developed equine fever diagnostic panel (EFDP) between 2019 and 2023 and evaluate the frequency of positive results.

Serological and molecular evidence for spotted fever group Rickettsia and Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato co-infections in The Netherlands

open access: yesTicks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2016
Only a few reported cases indicate that Rickettsia helvetica and Rickettsia monacensis can cause disease in humans. Exposure to these two spotted fever group (SFG) rickettsiae occurs through bites of Ixodes ricinus, also the primary vector of Lyme borreliosis in Europe.

Permission to bite: White‐footed mice show no increased grooming response to tick infestation

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, EarlyView.
White‐footed mice (Peromyscus leucopus) are one of the most frequently studied hosts of blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis); however, interactions between white‐footed mice and ticks are not easily observed. This study aimed to quantify activity patterns in white‐footed mice and to assess their behavioral responses to parasitism by blacklegged ticks ...

Arthritis Is Developed in Borrelia-Primed And -Infected Mice Deficient of Interleukin-17 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Interleukin-17 (IL-17) has been shown to participate in the development of Lyme arthritis in experimental mice. For example, neutralization of IL-17 with antibodies inhibits induction of arthritis in Borrelia-primed and -infected C57BL/6 wild-type mice ...

Heterologous Surface Display Reveals Conserved Complement Inhibition and Functional Diversification of Borrelia burgdorferi Elp Proteins

open access: yesMolecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
A novel approach using the Pseudomonas syringae ice nucleation protein (INP) system to present Borrelia burgdorferi lipoproteins on the surface of Escherichia coli reveals conservation of complement inhibitory functions among uncharacterized OspE/F‐like leader peptide (Elp) proteins.
