Simultaneous detection and genotyping of three genomic groups of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in Dutch Ixodes ricinus ticks by characterization of the amplified intergenic spacer region between 5S and 23S rRNA genes [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1995
We developed a rapid and reliable method for the identification Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato species in ticks. We used the DNA sequence polymorphism of the spacer region between 5S and 23S rRNA genes, which has been shown to be able to discriminate between eight genomic groups of B. burgdorferi sensu lato (D. Postic, M. Assous, P. A. D. Grimont, and

The Classical Complement Pathway Is Required to Control Borrelia burgdorferi Levels During Experimental Infection

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Activation of the classical complement pathway occurs to varying degrees within strains of the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex, which contain a group of pathogenic spirochetes that cause tick-borne Lyme borreliosis, including the agent of Lyme ...

Rapid Resolution of Grade VI Facial Nerve Paralysis in Ramsay Hunt Syndrome With Prompt Dual Antiviral‐Corticosteroid Therapy: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Ramsay Hunt syndrome, caused by varicella‐zoster virus reactivation, presents with facial paralysis, otalgia, and auricular vesicles. A Tanzanian woman with Grade VI facial palsy was treated with acyclovir and prednisolone, recovering to Grade II within 2 weeks.

Individual characteristics, experience, and environmental conditions shape large‐scale patterns of animal activity timing

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The timing of an animal's activity affects its survival and reproduction because timing determines the nature of every interaction an organism has with its environment. Although the timing of activity may depend on aspects of the individual (e.g., body mass, reproductive status, experience) or the nature of the environment (e.g., temperature ...

Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato and spotted fever group rickettsiae in small rodents and attached ticks in the Northern Apennines, Italy

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2019
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 ...

Identification of tick-borne pathogens in ticks feeding on humans in Turkey.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014
BackgroundThe importance of tick-borne diseases is increasing all over the world, including Turkey. The tick-borne disease outbreaks reported in recent years and the abundance of tick species and the existence of suitable habitats increase the importance

Epitope mapping of BmpA and BBK32 Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto antigens for the design of chimeric proteins with potential diagnostic value

, 2023
Lyme disease is a tick-borne zoonosis caused by Gram-negative bacteria belonging to the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) group. In this study, IgM- and IgG-specific linear epitopes of two B.

Tick‐borne pathogen interactions enhance transmission in cattle and ticks in Ogun, Nigeria

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Tick‐borne diseases (TBDs) pose a major public health concern in tropical regions, where co‐infections and pathogen interactions complicate disease control. Understanding how these interactions vary across vertebrate hosts and tick vectors, and their impact on disease transmission, is crucial for developing effective intervention strategies ...

Nonclassical MHC‐I Molecules: Emerging Therapeutic Targets in Next‐Generation Immunotherapy

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 5, May 2026.
Immunotherapies dependent on classical MHC‐I molecules face significant challenges, including extreme polymorphism and frequent downregulation in pathological conditions. This review discusses how nonclassical MHC‐I molecules (HLA‐E, HLA‐F, HLA‐G, CD1, MR1) may potentially circumvent these limitations through restricted genetic diversity, stable ...
