Genetic and Landscape Connectivity of Blacklegged Ticks During Range Expansion in Select States of the Midwestern USA

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
Blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis), vectors of Lyme disease, have expanded across the Midwestern USA since the 1970s, with at least three genetically structured populations. Fine‐scale genomic and landscape analyses reveal distinct gene flow corridors and barriers, highlighting how environmental connectivity shapes tick range expansion and informing

Przegląd metod służących do wykrycia zakażenia Borrelia burgdorferi

Pediatria i Medycyna Rodzinna, 2013
Borelioza jest chorobą zakaźną wywoływaną przez krętki Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. Do zakażenia tą bak‑ terią dochodzi zwykle podczas ukąszenia przez zarażonego kleszcza z rodziny Ixodidae, m.in.

Use of CFSE staining of borreliae in studies on the interaction between borreliae and human neutrophils

BMC Microbiology, 2006
Background Species of the tick-transmitted spirochete group Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (B. burgdorferi) cause Lyme borreliosis. Acute borrelial infection of the skin has unusual characteristics with only a mild local inflammatory response suggesting

Unexpected failure of Ixodes scapularis nymphs to transmit a North American Borrelia bissettiae strain

Current Research in Parasitology and Vector-Borne Diseases, 2021
Globally, the Borrelia burgdorferi (sensu lato) complex comprises more than 21 species of spirochetes. Although the USA is home to a diverse fauna of Lyme disease group Borrelia species, only two are considered responsible for human clinical disease ...

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

The Flagellin‐Specific Chaperone FliS of Borrelia burgdorferi Controls the Cytoplasmic Pool of Flagellins at the Level of Translation Initiation, Secretion, and Proteolysis

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 124, Issue 2, Page 173-187, August 2025.
FliS, a flagellin protein chaperon of the Lyme disease pathogen Borrelia burgdorferi , controls the cytoplasmic pool of flagellins (FlaB) at the level of translation initiation, secretion, and proteolysis. Deletion of fliS blocks FlaB secretion and translation initiation through a pattern‐switching mechanism of FliS‐FlaB‐FliW/CsrA.

Navigating infection by pathogenic spirochetes: The host‐bacteria interface at the atomic level

Protein Science, Volume 34, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract Pathogenic spirochetes bind and interact with various host structures and molecules throughout the course of infection. By utilizing their outer surface molecules, spirochetes can effectively modulate their dissemination, interact with immune system regulators, and select specific destination niches within the host.

[The first isolation of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto in Russia].

Zhurnal mikrobiologii, epidemiologii i immunobiologii, 2001
18 Borrelia isolates obtained from adult ticks of the Ixodes ricinus species, collected from different plants in April 2000 in the Khostinsk region of the Krasnodar Territory in the vicinity of the health resort of Matsesta not far from Sochi, were identified by means of PCR and the analysis of polymorphism of the restriction fragments of ribosomal rrf-

Preferential Protection ofBorrelia burgdorferiSensu Stricto by a Salp15 Homologue inIxodes ricinusSaliva [PDF]

The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2008
Ixodes ticks are the main vectors for Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. In the United States, B. burgdorferi is the sole causative agent of Lyme borreliosis and is transmitted by Ixodes scapularis. In Europe, 3 Borrelia species-B. burgdorferi, B. garinii, and B. afzelii-are prevalent, which are transmitted by Ixodes ricinus. The I.
