Exploring microorganism–host interactions: Emerging organoid models and analytical approaches

mLife, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 17-34, February 2026.
Abstract Microorganisms play a vital role in human health through their interactions with the body. Studies of host–microbe mechanisms and interactions are crucial for advancing health management. Recently, the organoid‐based models have provided new platforms in this field.

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.

3D blood-brain barrier-organoids as a model for Lyme neuroborreliosis highlighting genospecies dependent organotropism

iScience, 2023
Summary: Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB), a tick-borne infection caused by spirochetes within the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.L.) complex, is among the most prevalent bacterial central nervous system (CNS) infections in Europe and the US. Here we have

Land use gradients drive spatial variation in Lassa fever host communities in the Eastern Province of Sierra Leone

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 2, Page 296-312, February 2026.
As West Africa urbanises, the risk of Lassa fever may paradoxically decrease. We found the invasive house mouse, a dominant urban species, outcompetes and displaces the primary Lassa virus host. Considering these species interactions is critical for accurately predicting future zoonotic disease patterns.

Evaluation of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato seroprevalencein the province of Bolu, Turkey*

TURKISH JOURNAL OF MEDICAL SCIENCES, 2016
The aim of the present study was to determine the seroprevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in the city center and the province of Bolu, Turkey.A stratified sampling method was used to determine the study population. A total of 196 blood samples were collected. A questionnaire was completed by each participant in the study.

Borrelia valaisiana resist complement-mediated killing independently of the recruitment of immune regulators and inactivation of complement components [PDF]

, 2013
Spirochetes belonging to the Borrelia (B.) burgdorferi sensu lato complex differ in their resistance to complement-mediated killing, particularly in regard to human serum.

Findings on Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Neuroborreliosis—A Nationwide Cohort Study

European Journal of Neurology, Volume 33, Issue 2, February 2026.
Key MRI findings in neuroborreliosis include leptomeningeal, cranial nerve, and nerve root enhancement, often without corresponding symptoms. Spinal cord lesions were relatively frequent and white matter lesions were non‐specific and associated with increasing age.

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 ...
