Serological and molecular detection of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato and Anaplasmataceae in rodents [PDF]
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, 1995Between 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.

Diversity of Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Lato in Russian Far East
Microbiology and Immunology, 2005AbstractThirty 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.

Arguments against the involvement of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in Alzheimer's disease
Research in Microbiology, 1998The involvement of spirochaetes, such as the aetiologic agent of Lyme borreliosis, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, in Alzheimer's disease (AD), a common neuropathology, has been proposed by several groups in the past. In our laboratory, brains from 10 AD patients were analysed for the presence of B.

Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato infecting Ixodes auritulus ticks in Uruguay
Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2019In 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

Lizards and the enzootic cycle of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato
Molecular MicrobiologyAbstractEmerging and re‐emerging pathogens often stem from zoonotic origins, cycling between humans and animals, and are frequently vectored and maintained by hematophagous arthropod vectors. The efficiency by which these disease agents are successfully transmitted between vertebrate hosts is influenced by many factors, including the host on which a ...

Isolation And Characterisation Of Bacteriophages Infecting Borrelia Burgdorferi Sensu Lato
2020Bacterial species of the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) complex are the main causative agents of Lyme disease. The disease is transmitted to humans by infected ticks. There are currently no vaccines available. Lyme disease can be effectively managed with antibiotics, such as Amoxicillin and Doxycycline, if it is diagnosed early. Phages (viruses

Persistence of Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Lato in Resolved Erythema Migrans Lesions
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1995Erythema migrans skin lesions resulting from a tick bite and infection with Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato eventually resolve, even without antibiotic therapy. The aim of the present study was to gauge the frequency of persistence of B. burgdorferi sensu lato in such lesions. Thus, the site of a previous lesion was biopsied and cultured in 48 patients:
