Diversity of Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Lato in Russian Far East [PDF]

Microbiology and Immunology, 2005
AbstractThirty strains of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato have been isolated from Ixodes persulcatus ticks and from skin lesions of Lyme disease patients in the Russian Far East from 1997 to 2003. We amplified full‐length outer surface protein A (ospA) gene of all strains.

Borrelia burgdorferi (sensu lato) in ectoparasites and reptiles in southern Italy [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Borrelia burgdorferi (sensu lato) is a complex containing pathogenic bacteria of which some species, such as Borrelia lusitaniae, use birds, small mammals and reptiles as reservoirs. In Italy, the bacteria have been detected in reptilian and avian reservoirs in the northern and central regions.Here, 211 reptiles from three orders [Squamata (Sauria with

Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato Employs Several Escape Mechanisms to Bypass the Human Defense System

European Journal of Immunology, Volume 56, Issue 5, May 2026.
Integrated overview of host defense and immune evasion in Lyme Borreliosis. Bbsl evades immunity through tick saliva‐mediated suppression of innate defenses, TLR2/NOD2‐driven cytokine dysregulation, and interference with JAK/STAT and CIITA‐dependent antigen presentation.

Lizards and the enzootic cycle of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato [PDF]

Molecular Microbiology
AbstractEmerging and re‐emerging pathogens often stem from zoonotic origins, cycling between humans and animals, and are frequently vectored and maintained by hematophagous arthropod vectors. The efficiency by which these disease agents are successfully transmitted between vertebrate hosts is influenced by many factors, including the host on which a ...

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

Parasitology Research, 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

Distribution of Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Lato in China [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2011
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

Complement evasion strategies of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 2020
Borreliosis (Lyme disease) is a spirochetal disease caused by the species complex of Borrelia burgdorferi transmitted by Ixodes spp. ticks. Recorded to be the most common tick‐borne disease in the world, the last two decades have seen an increase in disease incidence and distribution, exceeding 360 000 cases in Europe alone. If untreated, infection may

Host transcriptome response to Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 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

Host association of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato: A review

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2021
Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (Bbsl) is a bacterial species complex that includes the etiological agents of the most frequently reported vector-borne disease in the Northern hemisphere, Lyme borreliosis. It currently comprises > 20 named and proposed genospecies that use vertebrate hosts and tick vectors for transmission in the Americas and Eurasia ...

Biofilm formation byBorrelia burgdorferisensu lato [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2015
Bacterial biofilms are microbial communities held together by an extracellular polymeric substance matrix predominantly composed of polysaccharides, proteins and nucleic acids. We had previously shown that Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, the causative organism of Lyme disease in the United States is capable of forming biofilms in vitro.
