Cultivation at 37°C enhances Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto infectivity for hamsters

Medical Microbiology and Immunology, 2002
Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto (s.s.), the causative agent of Lyme disease in North America is transmitted to the mammalian host by ticks belonging to the genus, Ixodes. Antibodies to several spirochetal proteins, most notably outer surface protein C (OspC), have been observed in early infection in both humans and laboratory animals.

Prevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, Borrelia afzelii, Borrelia garinii, and Borrelia valaisiana in Ixodes ricinus ticks from the northwest of Norway

Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2013
Over a 3-y period, Ixodes ricinus ticks were randomly collected to study the prevalence of 4 Borrelia species: B. burgdorferi sensu stricto, B. afzelii, B. garinii and B. valaisiana. While B. burgdorferi s. s., B. afzelii, and B. garinii have been associated with human borreliosis in Norway for several years, B.

Culture-Confirmed Reinfection of a Person with Different Strains of Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Stricto

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1998
ABSTRACT In recent years, the utility of serum-based diagnostic testing for Lyme disease has improved substantially; however, recovery by culture of the bacterium from skin biopsies of suspected patients is still the only definitive laboratory test.

Occurrence of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, Borrelia garinii and Borrelia afzelii in the Ixodes ricinus ticks from Eastern Slovakia

European Journal of Epidemiology, 2000
A total of 2816 unfed adults nymphs of Ixodes ricinus ticks were collected from vegetation in Kosice (Eastern Slovakia) from 1994 to 1997. Prevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi s. l. in I. ricinus ticks, detected by dark field microscopy, varied and depended upon the year and the habitat of the collected ticks.

Lectin-binding characteristics of a lyme borreliosis spirocheteBorrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto

Folia Microbiologica, 2005
Borrelial glycoconjugates were localized by labeled lectins on ultrathin cryosections and on surfaces of intact negatively stained bacteria. Protein-saccharide complexes in these glycoconjugates were partially characterized by means of enzyme deglycosylation and mild alkali pretreatment of cryosections.

Infection rate ofIxodes ricinus ticks withBorrelia afzelii, Borrelia garinii, andBorrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto in Slovenia

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 1995
In spring 1993, Ixodes ricinus ticks were collected from six regions of Slovenia to determine their overall rate of infection with Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato and to assess the frequency of individual species in these tick populations. Ticks were dissected and midgut tissue inoculated into modified Barbour-Stoenner-Kelly (BSK II) medium.

Detection of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto and Borrelia garinii DNAs in patient with Hyperkeratosis lenticularis perstans (Flegel disease)

Folia Microbiologica, 2016
Determination of the causative agent of erythema-like skin lesions in case of nonspecific superficial perivascular dermatitis was supported by histological examination and led to the latter diagnosis of Hyperkeratosis lenticularis perstans (Flegel disease) in patient.

Genospecies-Specific Melting Temperature of the recA PCR Product for the Detection of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato and Differentiation of Borrelia garinii from Borrelia afzelii and Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto

2002
Lyme borreliosis, manifesting as arthritis, was first reported in the USA in 1977 [1] and the expanded clinical spectrum of this tick-borne multisystem Borrelia infection has since been recognized in many countries. The initial symptom and hallmark of lyme borreliosis is an expanding skin rash called erythema migrans emerging around the tick-bite site.

IgG antibody reactivity to Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto antigens in patients with morphea in Colombia

International Journal of Dermatology, 2003
AbstractBackground  Morphea and lichen sclerosus et atrophicus (LSA) are sclerotic skin lesions of unknown etiology involving connective tissue. The hypothesis of a borrelial origin of morphea and LSA is currently controversial.Methods  Immunoglobulin G (IgG) immunoblot serologies against Borrelia burgdorferi in patients with morphea and LSA were ...
