Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 2, Page 164-168, March 2026.ABSTRACT Lyme disease (LD), a tick‐borne infection, is endemic in Nova Scotia. One decade ago, the seropositivity rate to Borrelia burgdorferi was 2/1855 (0.14%). In the current study, using residual sera representing ages 10–64 years, we demonstrate an increase in seroprevalence, to 25/1872 (1.60%), with the highest seroprevalence in the western area ...

Diversity of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in ticks and small mammals from different habitats
Parasites & Vectors, 2022 Background Ixodid ticks are important vectors for zoonotic pathogens, with Ixodes ricinus being the most important in Europe. Rodents are hosts of immature life stages of I.

Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Blood Parasite Infections and Impacts on Avian Health and Reproduction
Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 24, December 2025.ABSTRACT Parasitic infections are ubiquitous in nature, but their consequences are often difficult to evaluate in wildlife. This is particularly the case for chronic infections for which fitness impacts can be subtle or confounded with other intrinsic and extrinsic factors.

Genetic diversity of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto: novel strains from Mexican wild rodents.
Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, 2020 Borrelia burgdorferi s.s. is a Gram-negative spirochete, the etiological agent of Lyme disease, the most common vector-borne disease in the Northern hemisphere. Reports on the presence of B.

Host Immune Evasion by Lyme and Relapsing Fever Borreliae: Findings to Lead Future Studies for Borrelia miyamotoi [PDF]
, 2017 The emerging pathogen, Borrelia miyamotoi, is a relapsing fever spirochete vectored by the same species of Ixodes ticks that carry the causative agents of Lyme disease in the US, Europe, and Asia. Symptoms caused by infection with B.

Rapid Northward Expansion of the Blacklegged Tick, Ixodes scapularis, in Response to Climate Change
Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 11, November 2025.The blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis, can transmit human diseases such as Lyme disease and is exposing new human populations to this risk due to its rapid expansion into Canada. We used community science data (eTick and iNaturalist) to understand the environmental factors responsible for the distribution of I.

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2021 Many local anaesthetics, including lidocaine, procaine and ropivacaine inhibit bacterial growth. This study investigates potential effects of these local anaesthetics on growth of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto (Bbss), Borrelia bavariensis (Bbav) and Borrelia afzelii (Ba). For this purpose, Borrelia spp.

DETECTION OF BORRELIA SPIROCHETES IN TICKS WITH q16 REAL-TIME PCR
Archives of Veterinary Medicine, 2021 Lyme disease is a tick-borne disease caused by Borrelia burgdorferi s.l. spirochaetes. It is transmitted by several hard ticks of the genus Ixodes, mainly Ixodes ricinus in Europe.

Diversity within Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato genospecies in Switzerland by recA gene sequence [PDF]
, 2017 A total of 874 Ixodes ricinus ticks were collected in Switzerland to investigate the genetic diversity of the Borrelia population. We integrated to the RT-PCR method the DNA sequence analysis of a 162-bp fragment of the recA gene.
