Excess Healthcare Costs and Resource Utilisation of Lyme Borreliosis in Germany: A Propensity Score–Matched Cohort Study

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 72, Issue 1, Page 23-31, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Lyme borreliosis (LB) is the most common tick‐borne disease in Germany; however, data on the economic burden of LB are limited. In this study, we aim to report healthcare costs, healthcare resource utilisation (HCRU) and diagnostic consumption associated with LB by clinical manifestation.

Infectivity of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato is unaltered in C3-deficient mice

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2011
B. burgdorferi, B. afzelii, and B. bavariensis show resistance to mouse and human complement. B. garinii and B. valaisiana are sensitive to mouse and human complement. We evaluated whether the absence of C3 in mice influenced infectivity and pathogenicity of different Borrelia species.

Historical Summary of Tick and Animal Surveillance Studies for Lyme Disease in Canada, 1975–2023: A Scoping Review

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 72, Issue 1, Page 9-22, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction Lyme disease (LD) is caused by infection with the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (Bb) through the bite of an infected Ixodes spp. tick. LD has emerged as a public and animal health issue in Canada, with human incidence increasing in part due to the expansion of Ixodes scapularis ticks and their vertebrate hosts.

First report of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in two threatened carnivores: the Marbled polecat, Vormela peregusna and the European mink, Mustela lutreola (Mammalia: Mustelidae)

BMC Veterinary Research, 2012
Background Lyme disease is a widespread cosmopolitan zoonosis caused by species belonging to the genus Borrelia. It is transmitted from animal reservoir hosts to humans through hard - ticks of genus Ixodes which are vectors of the disease.

Assessment of the potential and actual risk of lyme disease agent transmission in the territory of Belgrade [PDF]

Veterinarski Glasnik, 2015
In the territory of Belgrade, at 16 sites (15 of test and one control), which belong to different enviromental categories such as: parks (Topcider, Hajd park, park Banovo brdo, Sumice, Usce), park-forests (Kosutnjak, Zvezdara, SP Jajinci ...

Woodland expansion and deer management shape tick abundance and Lyme disease hazard

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 1, January–March 2025.
Woodland expansion may eventually, once the trees mature, increase the risk of ticks and Lyme disease. However, controlling deer populations could be a solution to mitigate this issue. Abstract The largest land use change in Europe is woodland expansion, through planting and natural regeneration. Unforeseen consequences of this could include changes in

Identification of Borrelia species after creation of an in-house MALDI-TOF MS database.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Lyme borreliosis (LB) is a multisystemic disease caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (sl) complex transmitted to humans by Ixodes ticks. B. burgdorferi sl complex, currently comprising at least 19 genospecies, includes the main pathogenic species ...

Polynomial Characterizations of Distance-Biregular Graphs [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Fiol, Garriga, and Yebra introduced the notion of pseudo-distance-regular vertices, which they used to develop a new characterization of distance-regular graphs. Building on that work, Fiol and Garriga developed the spectral excess theorem for distance-regular graphs. We extend both these characterizations to distancebiregular graphs and show how these

A seasonal matrix population model for ixodid ticks with complex life histories and limited host availability

Ecology, Volume 106, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract Many vector‐borne diseases are sensitive to changes in land use and climate; hence, it is important to understand the factors that govern the vector populations. Ixodid ticks, which serve as vectors for multiple diseases, have a slow life cycle compared with many of their hosts.

Latitudinal Variation in the Timing of Nest Predator Activity Is Habitat Specific

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim The goal of this work was to investigate whether the community of avian nest predators shifts from nocturnal to diurnal with changes in latitude. This hypothesis was formulated 70 years ago, under the rationale that longer day length during the bird breeding season at high latitudes increases opportunities for visual predators.
