Comparative genome analysis: selection pressure on the Borrelia vls cassettes is essential for infectivity

BMC Genomics, 2006
Background At least three species of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (Bbsl) cause tick-borne Lyme disease. Previous work including the genome analysis of B. burgdorferi B31 and B. garinii PBi suggested a highly variable plasmid part.

Antigenic Conservation of an Immunodominant Invariable Region of the VlsE Lipoprotein among European Pathogenic Genospecies of Borrelia burgdorferi SL [PDF]

, 2017
Lyme disease is caused by genetically divergent spirochetes, including 3 pathogenic genospecies: Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, B. garinii, and B. afzelii. Serodiagnosisis complicated by this genetic diversity. A synthetic peptide (C6), based on the

Seabirds and the circulation of Lyme borreliosis bacteria in the North Pacific [PDF]

, 2015
Seabirds act as natural reservoirs to Lyme borreliosis spirochetes and may play a significant role in the global circulation of these pathogens. While Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (Bbsl) has been shown to occur in ticks collected from certain ...

Pet and Stray Dogs’ Contribution to Zoonotic Transmission Pathways: A Bibliometric Review

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Based on a large‐scale bibliometric dataset, domestic dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) emerge as the most frequently cited host species in the context of zoonoses, being mentioned in at least 10% of publications for nearly a quarter of the pathogens recognized as zoonotic to humans.

Parallelisms and Contrasts in the Diverse Ecologies of the Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Borrelia burgdorferi Complexes of Bacteria in the Far Western United States. [PDF]

, 2016
Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Borrelia burgdorferi are two tick-borne bacteria that cause disease in people and animals. For each of these bacteria, there is a complex of closely related genospecies and/or strains that are genetically distinct and have ...

Multilocus Sequence Typing Unveils Two Novel Genospecies of Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Lato in Ticks Infesting Cricetid Rodents of Northern Chile

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Tick‐borne spirochetes of the genus Borrelia are maintained in enzootic transmission cycles involving wild vertebrates such as rodents. The genus includes the lyme disease group (LDG), transmitted by hard ticks (Ixodidae), and the relapsing fever group (RFG), mostly transmitted by soft ticks (Argasidae).

Bridging the gap: Insights in the immunopathology of Lyme borreliosis

European Journal of Immunology, Volume 54, Issue 12, December 2024.
Lyme borreliosis is caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato transmitted by Ixodes ticks. The disease progresses from early localized infection to more severe conditions driven by ongoing inflammation. Understanding the role of Th1/Th2 balance, B‐cell dysfunction, and autoimmunity in Lyme borreliosis pathogenesis could improve diagnosis and treatment ...
