Borrelia burgdorferi (sensu lato) in ectoparasites and reptiles in southern Italy [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Borrelia burgdorferi (sensu lato) is a complex containing pathogenic bacteria of which some species, such as Borrelia lusitaniae, use birds, small mammals and reptiles as reservoirs. In Italy, the bacteria have been detected in reptilian and avian reservoirs in the northern and central regions.Here, 211 reptiles from three orders [Squamata (Sauria with

Eco-epidemiology of Borrelia miyamotoi and Lyme borreliosis spirochetes in a popular hunting and recreational forest area in Hungary [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: Borrelia miyamotoi, the newly discovered human pathogenic relapsing fever spirochete, and Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato are maintained in natural rodent populations. The aim of this study was to investigate the natural cycle of B. miyamotoi

Evaluation of a modified culture medium for Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato [PDF]

Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2007
The aim of the present study was to assess the possible use of a modified medium, prepared in the laboratory using the constituents of Barbour-Stonner-Kelly (BSK) medium and medium 199 as base, for the culture of Borrelia strains, comparing the growth of individual strains in this medium and in the BSK-H medium, and the protein profile and antigenic ...

Borrelia Diversity and Co-infection with Other Tick Borne Pathogens in Ticks [PDF]

, 2017
Identifying Borrelia burgdorferi as the causative agent of Lyme disease in 1981 was a watershed moment in understanding the major impact that tick-borne zoonoses can have on public health worldwide, particularly in Europe and the USA.

Wildlife health risk analysis for conservation translocation: A scalable approach illustrated for wader population restoration

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2025.
We present a methodological framework for health risk analysis (disease risk analysis) for conservation translocation that enables the process to be scaled and adapted to the project context. We illustrate its application to two wader (shorebird) population restoration projects with differing translocation plans.

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 ...

Amplification of the flgE gene provides evidence for the existence of a Brazilian borreliosis

Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 2012
INTRODUCTION: The symptoms of Brazilian borreliosis resemble the clinical manifestations of Lyme disease (LD). However, there are differences between the two in terms of epidemiological and laboratory findings.

Reappraisal of the Dilution and Amplification Effect Framework: A Case Study in Lyme Disease

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
The biodiversity–disease relationship posits two hypotheses: the dilution effect (where there's a negative relationship between biodiversity and disease risk) and the amplification effect (where there's a positive relationship). However, the literature has historically treated these hypotheses as either/or, ignoring the potential for a null result.
