Borrelia miyamotoi–Associated Neuroborreliosis in Immunocompromised Person

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2016
Borrelia miyamotoi is a newly recognized human pathogen in the relapsing fever group of spirochetes. We investigated a case of B. miyamotoi infection of the central nervous system resembling B.

The Roles of Contrasting Host Types on the Environmental Abundance of Anaplasma phagocytophilum, an Emerging Zoonotic Pathogen

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
In this study, we analysed data collected at 40 sites in the Northwest of Scotland (from 2018 to 2020) to quantify the relative contributions of hypothesised pathogen transmission hosts (deer and sheep) and non‐transmission hosts (birds and rodents) on the environmental abundance of ecotypes I and II of Anaplasma phagocytophilum. Our results add to our

The role of Borrelia burgdorferi infection in scleroderma

, 2014
Borrelia burgdorferi , a Gram-negative, spiral-shaped bacterium transmitted to humans via tick bites, is the etiologic agent of borreliosis (Lyme disease) with diverse clinical manifestations. There are several types of pathological lesions in the course

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 ...

A New Paradigm: 46 Structural Cell Types Function as Environment‐Supporting Innate Immune Cells, With Endothelial and Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells as Key Prototypes

iNew Medicine, Volume 2, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The scope, organization, and biological significance of innate immune functions across structural cell types remain poorly defined. To address these fundamental knowledge gaps, we analyzed experimental data of transcriptomes generated by our group and others.

Regional seropositivity for Borrelia burgdorferi and associated risk factors: findings from the Rhineland Study, Germany

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
Background Lyme borreliosis is the most prevalent vector-borne disease in Europe, and numbers might increase due to climate change. However, borreliosis is not notifiable in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), Germany.

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.

Borrelia and Genital Lichen Sclerosus: A Critical Review of the Evidence

JEADV Clinical Practice, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 777-785, September 2026.
We reviewed the evidence linking Borrelia as an aetiological factor to LSc. Thirty‐six studies were included. No significant differences in Borrelia detection were observed between LSc and comparator dermatoses using ELISA, PCR, culture, or microscopy. A significant difference observed with IHC was considered an outlier.

Molecular Subtyping of Borrelia burgdorferi in Erythema Migrans and Acrodermatitis Chronica Atrophicans [PDF]

, 1994
Recently, three subtypes of Borrelia burgdorferi have been identified: Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, Borrelia garinii, and the VS 461 group of Borrelia burgdorferi.

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
