Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, the agent of Lyme borreliosis: life in the wilds

Parasite, 2008
In Europe, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (sl) the agent of Lyme borreliosis circulates in endemic areas between Ixodes ricinus ticks and a large number of vertebrate hosts upon which ticks feed.

Spatial clustering of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato within populations of Allen's chipmunks and dusky-footed woodrats in northwestern California. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
The ecology of Lyme borreliosis is complex in northwestern California, with several potential reservoir hosts, tick vectors, and genospecies of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato.

Amplification of the flgE gene provides evidence for the existence of a Brazilian borreliosis

Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 2012
INTRODUCTION: The symptoms of Brazilian borreliosis resemble the clinical manifestations of Lyme disease (LD). However, there are differences between the two in terms of epidemiological and laboratory findings.

Borrelia Infections in Ageing Ticks: Relationship with Morphometric Age Ratio in Field-Collected Ixodes ricinus Nymphs

Microorganisms, 2022
In Europe, Ixodes ricinus plays a major role as a vector of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) spirochaetes, the causative agents of Lyme borreliosis, among other pathogens.

When Clades Collide: Genomic Admixture in Blacklegged Ticks (Ixodes scapularis) From the Great Plains

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 19, October 2026.
ABSTRACTIxodes scapularis ticks transmit a number of pathogens important to human health, including Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, the causative agent of Lyme disease. While I. scapularis is found across the Eastern United States, Lyme disease transmission is largely limited to the Northeast and Upper Midwest and is nearly absent in the South ...

Borrelia recurrentis employs a novel multifunctional surface protein with anti-complement, anti-opsonic and invasive potential to escape innate immunity [PDF]

, 2009
Borrelia recurrentis, the etiologic agent of louse-borne relapsing fever in humans, has evolved strategies, including antigenic variation, to evade immune defence, thereby causing severe diseases with high mortality rates.

Borrelia and Genital Lichen Sclerosus: A Critical Review of the Evidence

JEADV Clinical Practice, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 777-785, September 2026.
We reviewed the evidence linking Borrelia as an aetiological factor to LSc. Thirty‐six studies were included. No significant differences in Borrelia detection were observed between LSc and comparator dermatoses using ELISA, PCR, culture, or microscopy. A significant difference observed with IHC was considered an outlier.

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 7, Page 990-1015, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.

Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato Employs Several Escape Mechanisms to Bypass the Human Defense System

European Journal of Immunology, Volume 56, Issue 5, May 2026.
Integrated overview of host defense and immune evasion in Lyme Borreliosis. Bbsl evades immunity through tick saliva‐mediated suppression of innate defenses, TLR2/NOD2‐driven cytokine dysregulation, and interference with JAK/STAT and CIITA‐dependent antigen presentation.
