Bacteriolytic Activity of Selected Vertebrate Sera for Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Stricto and Borrelia bissettii

Journal of Parasitology, 2003
An in vitro assay to evaluate the bacteriolytic activity of the complement pathway was applied to 2 strains of Borrelia bissettii, CO501 and DN127, and compared with that of B. burgdorferi sensu stricto B31. Sera from mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) and the Western Fence lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis) were completely borreliacidal for B.

Coinfection withBorrelia burgdorferisensu stricto andBorrelia gariniialters the course of murine Lyme borreliosis [PDF]

FEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology, 2007
Ixodes ricinus ticks and mice can be infected with both Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto and Borrelia garinii. The effect of coinfection with these two Borrelia species on the development of murine Lyme borreliosis is unknown. Therefore, we investigated whether coinfection with the nonarthritogenic B.

PREPARATION AND PURIFICATION OF RECOMBINANT OUTER SURFACE PROTEIN A (rOspA) OF BORRELIA BURGDORFERI SENSU STRICTO AND BORRELIA AFZELII [PDF]

Biomedical Papers, 2005
The recombinant Outer surface protein A (rOspA) from Borrelia burgdorferi is a possible immunogen for protection of infected humans and animals against development of Lyme borreliosis (Lyme disease), a chronic tick-borne disease characterised by diverse dermatologic, neurologic, rheumatic, and cardiac manifestations.
