Differential Impact of Simultaneous or Sequential Coinfections With Borrelia afzelii and Tick‐Borne Encephalitis Virus on the Ixodes ricinus Microbiota

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Ticks, particularly Ixodes ricinus, are significant vectors of pathogens such as Borrelia spp. and tick‐borne encephalitis virus (TBEV), which cause Lyme borreliosis (LB) and tick‐borne encephalitis (TBE), respectively. Understanding how these pathogens interact within the tick microbiome is essential for developing vector control strategies.

Changes in the prevalence of three disease-causing pathogens in bird-borne blacklegged ticks: Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, and Babesia microti

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, and Babesia microti are common tick-borne pathogens of medical and veterinary concern in the United States and are transmitted by the blacklegged tick (Ixodes scapularis). The range expansion

Vector Competence of Ixodes scapularis and Ixodes ricinus (Acari: Ixodidae) for Three Genospecies of Borrelia burgdorferi [PDF]

, 2017
The vector competence of 2 tick species, Ixodes ricinus (L.) and Ixodes scapularis Say, was determined and compared for 3 genospecies of Borrelia burgdorferi. The 3 genospecies of B. burgdorferi used in the following experiments were Borrelia burgdorferi

Mesenchymal Stem Cells Reduce Inflammation in a Mouse Model of Lyme Arthritis

Stem Cells International, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Lyme disease (LD), a zoonotic infectious disease caused by Borrelia burgdorferi (B. burgdorferi), can affect various organs, including the skin, heart, nervous system, and joints. Lyme arthritis (LA) is the most common and severe late‐stage presentation of LD, often presenting with intermittent joint swelling and pain.

The genetic diversity of Borrelia afzelii is not maintained by the diversity of the rodent hosts. [PDF]

, 2018
Small mammals are essential in the enzootic cycle of many tick-borne pathogens (TBP). To understand their contribution to the genetic diversity of Borrelia afzelii, the most prevalent TBP in questing Ixodes ricinus, we compared the genetic variants of B.

The European Badger (Meles meles) as a Host for Ticks and Tick‐Borne Pathogens in Peri‐Urban Environments, Hungary

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
European badgers are opportunistic animals that could serve as important hosts in the life cycle of hard ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) when entering peri‐urban and urban environments. In this study, ticks and spleen samples were collected from badgers (Meles meles) found as roadkill between 2020 and 2021 in peri‐urban habitats in Central Europe, Hungary ...

Strain-specific variation of the decorin-binding adhesin DbpA influences the tissue tropism of the lyme disease spirochete.

PLoS Pathogens, 2014
Lyme disease spirochetes demonstrate strain- and species-specific differences in tissue tropism. For example, the three major Lyme disease spirochete species, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, B. garinii, and B.
