The Propensity of Different Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto Genotypes to Cause Disseminated Infections in Humans [PDF]
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2008 Lineages of Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterium that causes Lyme disease, can be characterized by distinct alleles at the outer surface protein C (ospC) locus. The lineages marked by ospC genotypes have been shown to be differentially invasive in different species of mammals, including humans; genotypes A, B, I, and K effectively disseminate to human ...

The genetic diversity of Borrelia afzelii is not maintained by the diversity of the rodent hosts. [PDF]
, 2018 Small mammals are essential in the enzootic cycle of many tick-borne pathogens (TBP). To understand their contribution to the genetic diversity of Borrelia afzelii, the most prevalent TBP in questing Ixodes ricinus, we compared the genetic variants of B.

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies
Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.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.
