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 ...

Landscape structure affects the prevalence and distribution of a tick-borne zoonotic pathogen [PDF]

, 2018
Background Landscape structure can affect pathogen prevalence and persistence with consequences for human and animal health. Few studies have examined how reservoir host species traits may interact with landscape structure to alter pathogen communities ...

Molecular Screening of Black Flies (Diptera: Simuliidae) for Vector‐Borne Zoonotic Pathogens, South Moravia, Czech Republic

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 1, Page 95-106, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Black flies (Simuliidae) are globally distributed blood‐feeding arthropods and vectors of viral, bacterial, and parasitic pathogens to many animal species, including humans. We investigated the occurrence of selected vector‐borne pathogens in black flies in South Moravia, Czech Republic, and evaluated their possible role in the ...

A Novel High Discriminatory Protocol for the Detection of Borrelia afzelii, Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Stricto and Borrelia garinii in Ticks

Pathogens, 2022
Bacteria of the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex are the causative agents of Lyme borreliosis (LB). Even if the conventional diagnosis of LB does not rely on the species itself, an accurate species identification within the complex will provide a ...

Predictive Modelling of Tick Distribution: A Machine Learning Approach to Ixodes ricinus Abundance

Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience, Volume 38, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The resurgence of tick‐borne diseases necessitates predictive frameworks that integrate both high accuracy and ecological relevance. This study develops a comprehensive machine learning pipeline to forecast the occurrence of Ixodes ricinus, a principal tick vector in Europe, leveraging high‐dimensional climatic, environmental, and land‐use ...

Updates on Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex with respect to public health [PDF]

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2011
Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) complex is a diverse group of worldwide distributed bacteria that includes 18 named spirochete species and a still not named group proposed as genomospecies 2. Descriptions of new species and variants continue to be recognized, so the current number of described species is probably not final.

Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, the agent of Lyme borreliosis: life in the wilds

Parasite, 2008
In Europe, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (sl) the agent of Lyme borreliosis circulates in endemic areas between Ixodes ricinus ticks and a large number of vertebrate hosts upon which ticks feed.

Structural characterisation of outer membrane proteins from Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato by small-angle X-ray scattering [PDF]

, 2015
Forming the interface between the bacterial cell and the host, the outer membrane of Borrelia is known to play a key role in pathogenicity. Although Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato are considered to be Gram-negative, their outer membrane is unique ...
