Longitudinal study of prevalence and spatio-temporal distribution of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in ticks from three defined habitats in Latvia, 1999-2010.

Environmental Microbiology, 2020
Members of the Borrelia (B) burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) species complex are known to cause human Lyme borreliosis. Because of longevity of some reservoir hosts and the Ixodes tick vectors' life cycle, long term studies are required to better understand

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 ...

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.

Panuveitis Caused by Borrelia Burgdorferi Sensu Lato Infection

Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 2015
A 13-year-old boy who presented with a red left eye, painful eye movement, blurred vision, photophobia and increased lacrimation, was diagnosed with 1-sided panuveitis with optic disk edema. Diagnostic work-up revealed borrelial antibodies in serum. Diagnosis of Lyme borreliosis was substantiated by demonstration of lymphocytic pleocytosis, intrathecal

Enzyme activities ofBorrelia burgdorferi sensu lato

Folia Microbiologica, 2001
Activities of 19 enzymes were tested by the API ZYM system in 13 strains of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (B. burgdorferi sensu stricto, B. afzelii, B. garinii, B. lusitaniae, B. valaisiana) grown in liquid BSK-H medium supplemented with rabbit serum.

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

Treatment of infection caused byBorrelia burgdorferisensu lato

Expert Review of Anti-infective Therapy, 2011
Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (Bbsl) infections, which are transmitted by Ixodes ticks, cause a wide variety of clinical manifestations and are of public health importance in parts of North America, Europe and Asia. A literature review of pertinent articles published up untill July 6th 2010 was performed on the use of antimicrobials in the treatment ...

Prevalence and Identification of Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Lato Genospecies in Ticks from Northeastern China.

Vector Borne and Zoonotic Diseases, 2019
Lyme disease is considered as one of important tick-transmitted zoonosis in northeastern China, where the causative agents, the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) complex, remain poorly characterized. The purpose of the present study was to determine

Serological and molecular detection of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato and Anaplasmataceae in rodents [PDF]

Folia Microbiologica, 2008
The presence of Anaplasma spp. and Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in rodents from Eastern Slovakia were followed by serological and molecular methods. The seroprevalence for Borrelia was detected in 16.6 %, for Anaplasmataceae (APT) in 13.2 % and co-occurrence of Borrelia and APT in 7.5 %. Out of 110 ear biopsies of rodents, 5 were B. afzelii-positive.

Prevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato Infection in Ixodes ricinus in Sweden

Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1995
Between 1988-1991, a total of 3,141 Ixodes ricinus ticks, 2,740 adults and 401 nymphs, was collected from different localities in 23 of the 25 provinces of Sweden. The ticks were identified, dissected and examined for the presence of Borrelia spirochetes.
