Homogeneous Inflammatory Gene Profiles Induced in Human Dermal Fibroblasts in Response to the Three Main Species of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
In Lyme borreliosis, the skin is the key site for bacterial inoculation by the infected tick and for cutaneous manifestations. We previously showed that different strains of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto isolated from tick and from different ...

Genetic Diversity of ospC in a Local Population of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto [PDF]

Genetics, 1999
AbstractThe outer surface protein, OspC, is highly variable in Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, the agent of Lyme disease. We have shown that even within a single population OspC is highly variable. The variation of ospA and ospC in the 40 infected deer ticks collected from a single site on Shelter Island, New York, was determined using PCR-SSCP ...

Genotypic variation and mixtures of Lyme Borrelia in Ixodes ticks from North America and Europe. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
Lyme disease, caused by various species of Borrelia, is transmitted by Ixodes ticks in North America and Europe. Studies have shown the genotype of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto (s.s.) or the species of B.

Outer surface protein E (OspE) mediates Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto strain-specific complement evasion in the eastern fence lizard, Sceloporus undulatus.

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2022
In North America, Lyme disease is primarily caused by the spirochetal bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto (Bb), which is transmitted between multiple vertebrate hosts and ixodid ticks, and is a model commonly used to study host-pathogen ...

Fitness Variation of Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Stricto Strains in Mice [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2008
ABSTRACT Lyme borreliosis in North America is caused by the tick-borne spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi , a zoonotic bacterium that is able to persistently infect a wide range of vertebrate species. Given the pronounced strain structure of B.

Ability to cause erythema migrans differs between Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato isolates [PDF]

, 2013
Background: Lyme borreliosis is a tick-borne disease caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. The variety of characteristic and non-specific clinical manifestations is partially explained by its genetic diversity.

Dilution and amplification effects in Lyme disease: Modeling the effects of reservoir-incompetent hosts on Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto transmission.

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2021
The literature on Lyme disease includes a lively debate about the paradoxical role of changing deer populations. A decrease in the number of deer will both (1) reduce the incidence of Lyme disease by decreasing the host populations for ticks and ...

Similarities in murine infection and immune response to Borrelia bissettii and Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto. [PDF]

Microbiology (Reading), 2015
In 1982, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto (ss) was identified as the aetiological agent of Lyme disease. Since then an increasing number of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (sl) species have been isolated in the United States. To date, many of these species remain understudied despite mounting evidence associating them with human illness.

Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Lato in Questing and Engorged Ticks from Different Habitat Types in Southern Germany

Microorganisms, 2021
Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) causes the most common tick-borne infection in Europe, with Germany being amongst the countries with the highest incidences in humans. This study aimed at (1) comparing infection rates of B. burgdorferi s.l.

Comparison of Lyme Disease in the United States and Europe

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2021
Lyme disease, or Lyme borreliosis, is the most common tickborne disease in the United States and Europe. In both locations, Ixodes species ticks transmit the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato bacteria species responsible for causing the infection.
