Temporal increase in ticks and pathogen prevalence in the small mammal part of the Lyme disease cycle in northern Europe

Ecosphere, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2024.
Abstract Lyme disease is an emerging infectious disease and the most common vector‐borne zoonosis in the northern hemisphere. The pathogen that causes Lyme disease in Europe is vectored by the generalist tick Ixodes ricinus, and the emergence of Lyme disease is partly linked to how climate warming affects tick distribution and abundance.

Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in humans in a rural area of Paraná State, Brazil [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Microbiology, 2015
This study describes the detection of Borrelia garinii and Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto (s.s.) in Brazilian individuals using PCR and DNA sequencing. Our results suggest that these species are emerging pathogens in this country, and additional studies are necessary to determine the epidemiological characteristics of this disease in Brazil.

Estimated incidence of symptomatic Lyme borreliosis cases in five southern coastal counties in Norway, 2022

APMIS, Volume 132, Issue 11, Page 832-842, November 2024.
Lyme borreliosis (LB), the most common tick‐borne disease in Europe, is endemic to southern coastal Norway. LB commonly presents as erythema migrans, which can disseminate, resulting in more severe disease such as Lyme neuroborreliosis or arthritis. In Norway, public health LB surveillance is conducted via mandatory reporting of laboratory‐confirmed ...

Presence of Borrelia Spirochetes in White Stork (Ciconia ciconia), White-Tailed Eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla), and Eastern Imperial Eagle (Aquila heliaca): Hospitalized in a Wild Bird Hospital and Sanctuary (Hortobágy, Hungary)

Animals
Wild birds across the globe can carry the causative agent of avian borreliosis, Borrelia anserina, and that of human Lyme borreliosis, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in the ticks attached to them. Currently, only limited proof exists for the presence of

Prevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato and Anaplasma phagocytophilum in questing Ixodes ricinus ticks in relation to the density of wild cervids

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2009
Background Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato and Anaplasma phagocytophilum have been considered as pathogens in animals and humans. The role of wild cervids in the epidemiology is not clear. We analyzed questing Ixodes ricinus ticks collected in spring for

Correlation between mutation pressure, selection pressure and occurrence of amino acids [PDF]

arXiv, 2003
We have found that the effective survival time of amino acids in organisms follows a power law with respect to frequency of their occurrence in genes. We have used mutation data matrix PAM1 PET91 to calculate selection pressure on each kind of amino acid.

Prevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato infection in the Czech Republic

International Journal of Medical Microbiology
Introduction: Lyme borreliosis (LB), an infection caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (Bbsl), is the most common tick-borne disease in Europe. To further characterize the LB burden in the Czech Republic, we conducted a seroprevalence study and estimated the incidence of symptomatic Bbsl infections.

Information weights of nucleotides in DNA sequences [PDF]

arXiv, 2003
The coding sequence in DNA molecule is considered as a message to be transferred to receiver, the proteins, through a noisy information channel and each nucleotide is assigned a respective information weight. With the help of the nucleotide substitution matrix we estimated the lower bound of the amount of information carried out by nucleotides which is
