Acquisition of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto (Spirochaetales: Spirochaetaceae) by Haemaphysalis longicornis (Acari: Ixodidae) nymphs during interrupted feeding. [PDF]
J Med EntomolA previous laboratory study using Haemaphysalis longicornis Neumann (Acari: Ixodidae) ticks of North American origin showed that larvae could acquire the Lyme disease spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto (s.s.) (Spirochaetales: Spirochaetaceae)

Assessment of the speed of transmission of Ehrlichia canis, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, and Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto by infected ticks through an in vitro experimental model. [PDF]
Parasit VectorsCanine vector-borne diseases (CVBDs) have significant clinical and public health implications. This experimental study used a validated continuous-flow in vitro feeding system (CFIFS) to investigate the speed of transmission (SOT) of three tick-borne ...

In-vitro-Sensibilität von Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato gegenüber vier Antibiotika: ein Vergleich der Genospezies Borrelia afzelii, Borrelia garinii und Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto [PDF]
, 2006 MICs and minimal bactericidal concentrations (MBCs) were evaluated for the four antibiotics azithromycin, amoxicillin, ceftriaxone, and doxycycline against the three main genospecies of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato.

A CRISPR/LbCas12a system for Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto detection in blacklegged ticks. [PDF]
J Med EntomolAbstract CRISPR/Cas systems have the potential to revolutionize DNA detection of vector-borne pathogens with highly specific and user-friendly assays. One such system, named DNA Endonuclease Targeted CRISPR Trans Reporter (DETECTR), uses a guide RNA (gRNA) and Cas enzyme to bind to and cut DNA targets.

Lyme Neuroborreliosis: Mechanisms of B. burgdorferi Infection of the Nervous System
Brain Sciences, 2021 Lyme borreliosis is the most prevalent tick-borne disease in the United States, infecting ~476,000 people annually. Borrelia spp. spirochetal bacteria are the causative agents of Lyme disease in humans and are transmitted by Ixodes spp ticks.

Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Stricto, a Bacterial Species "Made in the U.S.A."? [PDF]
International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology, 1997 Among the three main species of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato associated with Lyme borreliosis, B. burgdorferi sensu stricto (B. burgdorferi) is the sole species present both in North America and in Europe, where Borrelia garinii and Borrelia afzelii also occur. The greater genetic diversity together with the greater clinical polymorphism observed in

Decorin Binding by DbpA and B of Borrelia garinii, Borrelia afzelii, and Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Stricto [PDF]
The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2011 Decorin adherence is crucial in the pathogenesis of Lyme borreliosis. Decorin-binding proteins (Dbp) A and B are the adhesins that mediate this interaction. DbpA and B of Borrelia garinii, Borrelia afzelii, and Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto (ss) differ in their amino acid sequence, but little attention has been paid to the potential difference in ...
