Mass conservative reaction diffusion systems describing cell polarity [PDF]
, 2020 A reaction-diffusion system with mass conservation modelling cell polarity is considered. A range of the parameters is found where the solution converges exponentially to the constant equilibrium and the $\omega$-limit set of the solution is spatially homogeneous, containing the constant stationary solution as well as possible spatially homogeneous ...

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 72, Issue 3, Page 313-323, May 2025.ABSTRACT Introduction Humans acquire tick‐borne pathogens (TBPs) from infected ticks contacted during outdoor activities. Outdoor activity is at its highest in urban green spaces, where the presence of tick populations has increasingly been observed. Consequently, more insight into factors influencing the presence of ticks therein is needed.

The Release of Non‐Native Gamebirds Is Associated With Amplified Zoonotic Disease Risk
Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 4, April 2025.Spillback is potentially an important mechanism by which non‐natives contribute to zoonotic disease emergence. We capitalise on quasi‐experimental releases of non‐native pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) to compare native pathogen prevalence between sites with similar local conditions but different non‐native densities. Prevalence of Borrelia sp.

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 72, Issue 2, Page 174-183, March 2025.ABSTRACT Introduction Ixodes ricinus, the castor bean tick, is the most prevalent tick species in Europe. It favours habitats such as shrubs, deciduous and mixed forests, but can also be found in urban environments. Due to its high vector competence, it is of enormous veterinary as well as medical importance, transmitting tick‐borne encephalitis (TBE ...

Monitoring of pathogenic Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in the Almaty oblast, Kazakhstan
Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2021 Lyme borreliosis (LB) is one of the most common vector-borne diseases transmitted by ticks. It is caused by the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) genospecies. The Almaty oblast of Kazakhstan is considered endemic for LB. Nevertheless, there are significant gaps in the tick surveillance for LB agents in the region. We evaluated B.

Clinical and Developmental Immunology, 2012 Why some individuals develop clinical manifestations in Lyme borreliosis (LB) while others remain asymptomatic is largely unknown. Therefore, we wanted to investigate adaptive and innate immune responsiveness to Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in exposed

Quasilinear Reaction Diffusion Systems with Mass Dissipation [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 We study quasilinear reaction diffusion systems relative to the Shigesada-Kawasaki-Teramoto model. Nonlinearity standing for the external force is provided with mass dissipation. Estimate in several norms of the solution is provided under the restriction of diffusion coefficients, growth rate of reaction, and space dimension.

Cleaning Interactions Between Crows and Sika Deer: Implications for Tick‐Borne Disease Management
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2025.We found cleaning interactions between crows and sika deer to remove ectoparasites on deer in Japan. These interactions may contribute to reducing the risk of zoonotic disease. ABSTRACT Cleaning interactions between mammals and birds have been widely observed worldwide.

Population genetics, taxonomy, phylogeny and evolution of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato [PDF]
Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2011 In order to understand the population structure and dynamics of bacterial microorganisms, typing systems that accurately reflect the phylogenetic and evolutionary relationship of the agents are required. Over the past 15 years multilocus sequence typing schemes have replaced single locus approaches, giving novel insights into phylogenetic and ...

Pathogens, 2022 Bacteria of the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex are the causative agents of Lyme borreliosis (LB). Even if the conventional diagnosis of LB does not rely on the species itself, an accurate species identification within the complex will provide a ...
