Far-Reaching Dispersal of Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Lato-Infected Blacklegged Ticks by Migratory Songbirds in Canada

open access: yesHealthcare, 2018
Lyme disease has been documented in northern areas of Canada, but the source of the etiological bacterium, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (Bbsl) has been in doubt.

Differential Impact of Simultaneous or Sequential Coinfections With Borrelia afzelii and Tick‐Borne Encephalitis Virus on the Ixodes ricinus Microbiota

open access: yesInternational Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Ticks, particularly Ixodes ricinus, are significant vectors of pathogens such as Borrelia spp. and tick‐borne encephalitis virus (TBEV), which cause Lyme borreliosis (LB) and tick‐borne encephalitis (TBE), respectively. Understanding how these pathogens interact within the tick microbiome is essential for developing vector control strategies.

Recurrent evolution of host and vector association in bacteria of the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato species complex

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2016
BackgroundThe Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) species complex consists of tick-transmitted bacteria and currently comprises approximately 20 named and proposed genospecies some of which are known to cause Lyme Borreliosis.

Ticks and Tick‐Borne Pathogens Encountered by Dogs and Cats: A North European Perspective

open access: yesTransboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Climate change is increasing the worldwide burden of tick‐borne diseases (TBDs). Dramatic increases in human cases of borreliosis have been reported during the past few decades, including from Finland, located in North Europe. As human exposure to ticks carrying pathogens is increasing, so likely is exposure of dogs and cats.

First report of Coxiella burnetii and Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in poultry red mites, Dermanyssus gallinae (Mesostigmata, Acari), related to urban outbreaks of dermatitis in Italy

open access: yesNew Microbes and New Infections, 2018
The poultry red mite (PRM), Dermanyssus gallinae, is a nonburrowing haematophagous nest-dwelling ectoparasite of birds; occasionally it bites humans, inducing dermatitis.

Questing Ixodes ricinus ticks (Acari, Ixodidae) as a vector of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato and Borrelia miyamotoi in an urban area of north-eastern Poland

open access: yesExperimental & applied acarology, 2019
Green areas located within large cities, as natural ecotypes, are a convenient habitat for ticks and their use as recreational areas is associated with the potential risk of acquiring tick-borne diseases. This study estimated the I. ricinus tick density,

Multilocus Sequence Typing Unveils Two Novel Genospecies of Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Lato in Ticks Infesting Cricetid Rodents of Northern Chile

open access: yesTransboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Tick‐borne spirochetes of the genus Borrelia are maintained in enzootic transmission cycles involving wild vertebrates such as rodents. The genus includes the lyme disease group (LDG), transmitted by hard ticks (Ixodidae), and the relapsing fever group (RFG), mostly transmitted by soft ticks (Argasidae).

Bridging the gap: Insights in the immunopathology of Lyme borreliosis

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Immunology, Volume 54, Issue 12, December 2024.
Lyme borreliosis is caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato transmitted by Ixodes ticks. The disease progresses from early localized infection to more severe conditions driven by ongoing inflammation. Understanding the role of Th1/Th2 balance, B‐cell dysfunction, and autoimmunity in Lyme borreliosis pathogenesis could improve diagnosis and treatment ...

Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Lato Spirochetes in Wild Birds in Northwestern California: Associations with Ecological Factors, Bird Behavior and Tick Infestation

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Although Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) are found in a great diversity of vertebrates, most studies in North America have focused on the role of mammals as spirochete reservoir hosts.

Development of a PCR for Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, targeted on the groEL gene

open access: yesFolia Parasitologica, 2020
Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) is the etiological agent of Lyme disease, transmitted by ticks of the genus Ixodes Latreille. Diagnosis of Lyme disease in humans is often difficult and a detailed knowledge of the circulation of B. burgdorferi s.l. in tick hosts is therefore fundamental to support clinical procedures.
