DETECTION OF BORRELIA SPIROCHETES IN TICKS WITH q16 REAL-TIME PCR
Lyme disease is a tick-borne disease caused by Borrelia burgdorferi s.l. spirochaetes. It is transmitted by several hard ticks of the genus Ixodes, mainly Ixodes ricinus in Europe.

A mutagenic PCR identifies isolates of Borrelia garinii responsible for Lyme borreliosis [PDF]
Borrelia garinii is one of the three major Borreliae responsible for Lyme borreliosis in Europe. We have characterized a protein of B. garinii (VS102) and a genomic fragment from the gene encoding this protein was cloned. The DNA sequence of the fragment

Upscaling the surveillance of tick-borne pathogens in the French Caribbean Islands [PDF]
Despite the high burden of vector-borne disease in (sub)tropical areas, few information are available regarding the diversity of tick and tick-borne pathogens circulating in the Caribbean.

Background Species of the tick-transmitted spirochete group Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (B. burgdorferi) cause Lyme borreliosis. Acute borrelial infection of the skin has unusual characteristics with only a mild local inflammatory response suggesting

Diversity within Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato genospecies in Switzerland by recA gene sequence [PDF]
A total of 874 Ixodes ricinus ticks were collected in Switzerland to investigate the genetic diversity of the Borrelia population. We integrated to the RT-PCR method the DNA sequence analysis of a 162-bp fragment of the recA gene.

FliS, a flagellin protein chaperon of the Lyme disease pathogen Borrelia burgdorferi , controls the cytoplasmic pool of flagellins (FlaB) at the level of translation initiation, secretion, and proteolysis. Deletion of fliS blocks FlaB secretion and translation initiation through a pattern‐switching mechanism of FliS‐FlaB‐FliW/CsrA.

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

Przegląd metod służących do wykrycia zakażenia Borrelia burgdorferi
Borelioza jest chorobą zakaźną wywoływaną przez krętki Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. Do zakażenia tą bak‑ terią dochodzi zwykle podczas ukąszenia przez zarażonego kleszcza z rodziny Ixodidae, m.in.
