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

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.

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

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 ...

Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato Employs Several Escape Mechanisms to Bypass the Human Defense System. [PDF]
Eur J ImmunolIntegrated 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.

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

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.

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

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
