Seroprevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato and Anaplasma phagocytophilum Infections in German Horses [PDF]

Animals, 2023
There are limited data on Lyme borreliosis (LB), a tick-borne disease caused by the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex, in horses. Seropositivity is not necessarily associated with clinical disease.

Host transcriptome response to Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. [PDF]

Ticks Tick Borne Dis, 2021
The host immune response to infection is a well-coordinated system of innate and adaptive immune cells working in concert to prevent the colonization and dissemination of a pathogen. While this typically leads to a beneficial outcome and the suppression of disease pathogenesis, the Lyme borreliosis bacterium, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, can elicit

The evolving story of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato transmission in Europe. [PDF]

Parasitol Res, 2022
AbstractBeside mosquitoes, ticks are well-known vectors of different human pathogens. In the Northern Hemisphere, Lyme borreliosis (Eurasia, LB) or Lyme disease (North America, LD) is the most commonly occurring vector-borne infectious disease caused by bacteria of the genus Borrelia which are transmitted by hard ticks of the genus Ixodes. The reported

Glycosphingolipid-binding protein of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1997
The binding of Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease, to glycosphingolipids present in various types of cells was examined. B. burgdorferi bound specifically to galactosylceramide (GalCer) and glucosylceramide (GlcCer) but not to other glycosphingolipids, as determined by a thin-layer chromatography (TLC) overlay assay.

Lyme neuroborreliosis in Japan: Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato as a cause of meningitis of previously undetermined etiology in hospitalized patients outside of the island of Hokkaido, 2010-2021. [PDF]

Eur J Neurol
Abstract Background and Purpose Clinical manifestations of Lyme borreliosis (LB), caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (Bbsl), include erythema migrans, Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB), carditis, and arthritis. LB is a notifiable disease in Japan with <30 surveillance‐reported LB cases annually, predominately from Hokkaido Prefecture.

Diversity of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in ticks and small mammals from different habitats [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
Background Ixodid ticks are important vectors for zoonotic pathogens, with Ixodes ricinus being the most important in Europe. Rodents are hosts of immature life stages of I.

Serologic Status of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in Patients with Cardiovascular Changes. [PDF]

Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2023
Cardiovascular diseases, particularly coronary heart disease (CHD) caused by atherosclerosis, have the highest worldwide incidence and mortality rate of any type of disease. Aside from risk factors associated with lifestyle and comorbidities, infectious agents such as Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato spirochetes, which cause Lyme disease, may also play ...

Seroprevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato and Anaplasma phagocytophilum in Danish horses [PDF]

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2010
Background Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato and Anaplasma phagocytophilum are able to infect horses. However, the extend to which Danish horses are infected and seroconvert due to these two bacteria is unknown. The aim of the present study was to evaluate

Distribution of Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Lato in China [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2010
ABSTRACT We genotyped 102 Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato strains isolated from ticks, animals, and patients in 11 provinces in China by PCR–restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) amplification of 5S ( rrf )-23S ( rrl ) rRNA gene spacer amplicons

Prevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato-infected ticks on migrating birds [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1995
The prevalence of Lyme disease Borrelia-infected ticks on migrating birds was studied in Scandinavia. A total of 22,998 birds were caught at eight different bird observatories and examined for ticks. Five different species of ticks were found infesting the birds. The dominant species, Ixodesricinus, constituted 98.3% of the ticks collected.
