Bridging the gap: Insights in the immunopathology of Lyme borreliosis

European Journal of Immunology, Volume 54, Issue 12, December 2024.
Lyme borreliosis is caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato transmitted by Ixodes ticks. The disease progresses from early localized infection to more severe conditions driven by ongoing inflammation. Understanding the role of Th1/Th2 balance, B‐cell dysfunction, and autoimmunity in Lyme borreliosis pathogenesis could improve diagnosis and treatment ...

Prevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Lato in Ticks from Eastern China [PDF]

The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2015
To explore the tick distribution and prevalence of Borrelia in Zhejiang Province, we performed a survey in nine sites. A total of 447 adult ticks of 11 species were captured and the dominant tick species were Haemaphysalis longicornis and Ixodes sinensis and the abundance of tick species in different areas varied significantly.

Analysis and comparison of plasmid profiles of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato strains [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1995
The relationship between plasmid profiles and genospecies of the Lyme disease borreliae was investigated by using 40 strains from diverse biological and geographical sources. The genospecies of the strains were determined by examination of rRNA gene restriction patterns with cDNA probes complementary to the 16S and 23S rRNAs of Escherichia coli ...
