European Reservoir Hosts of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato

Zentralblatt für Bakteriologie, 1998
Existing knowledge on reservoir hosts of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato was collated and reviewed and several species, particularly birds, were identified as reservoir competent. At the present time, 9 small mammals, 7 medium-sized mammals and 16 bird species, including passerines, sea birds and pheasants, appear to be capable of transmitting ...

Glycosphingolipid-binding protein of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato

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.

Identification of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato Species in Europe

Zentralblatt für Bakteriologie, 1998
Characterisation at the species level of 142 Borrelia isolates obtained from ticks, humans and rodents in Western Europe was carried out and their geographical distribution was described. Borrelia garinii was the predominant species representing 44% of the isolates and B. afzelii and B.

Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato infecting Ixodes auritulus ticks in Uruguay

Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2019
In the southern cone of South America different haplotypes of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (Bbsl) have been detected in Ixodes spp. from Argentina, southern Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay. So far, Lyme borreliosis has not been diagnosed in Uruguay and the medical relevance of the genus Ixodes in South America is uncertain. However, the growing number of

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

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.

Diversity of Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Lato in Russian Far East

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.

Persistent Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Lato Infection after Antibiotic Treatment

Clinical microbiology reviews, 2022
Lyme borreliosis is caused by spirochetes belonging to the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato group, which are transmitted by Ixodes tick species living in the temperate climate zones of the Northern Hemisphere. The clinical manifestations of Lyme borreliosis are diverse and treated with oral or intravenous antibiotics.
