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

Infectivity of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato is unaltered in C3-deficient mice
Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2011 B. burgdorferi, B. afzelii, and B. bavariensis show resistance to mouse and human complement. B. garinii and B. valaisiana are sensitive to mouse and human complement. We evaluated whether the absence of C3 in mice influenced infectivity and pathogenicity of different Borrelia species.
