Arthritogenicity of Borrelia burgdorferi and Borrelia garinii: Comparison of Infection in Mice

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2009
Arthritogenicity, as determined by joint swelling and synovial histology, was compared between or within two Borrelia genospecies that cause Lyme arthritis in humans. The spirochete burden in bladder tissue (a site of spirochete persistence) was documented by quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and immune responses were analyzed.

Characteristics of Erythema migrans in Borrelia afzelii and Borrelia garinii Infections

Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2003
Erythema migrans is the most common manifestation of stage I Lyme borreliosis. This study investigated the relation between the subspecies of Borrelia burgdorferi involved, the time of development and the appearance of the manifestation. The study comprised 33 cases of erythema migrans yielding B. burgdorferi sensu lato by culture of skin biopsy.

Occurrence of Borrelia lusitaniae infection in horses

Veterinary Microbiology, 2012
The aim of the study was to investigate Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) infection in horses exposed to heavy tick infestations. Blood samples of 98 healthy horses from 5 stud farms were examined by SNAP(®) 4D× and PCR to detect antibodies against B. burgdorferi s.l. and Borrelia DNA, respectively. Ten samples (15.3%) were antibody positive and 5

Granuloma annulare – a manifestation of infection with Borrelia?

Journal of Cutaneous Pathology, 2008
Background:  Among the theories of origin of granuloma annulare (GA) are those of infection. Reports gave raise to the assumption that there is evidence for Borrelia as the causing agent.Methods:  To assess the evidence for infection with Borrelia in GA, tissue sections were stained with a polyclonal Borrelia antibody.

Experimental infection of dogs with Borrelia burgdorferi

Research in Veterinary Science, 1994
Four beagle dogs were inoculated subcutaneously with the BITs1 Italian strain of Borrelia burgdorferi. Only one dog became infected and B burgdorferi was isolated from its blood and urine three and four weeks after infection. B burgdorferi antibodies were detected by immunofluorescence from four to 11 weeks after infection.

Ornithodoriasis Preceding Borrelia Infection

Archives of Dermatology, 1984
Relapsing fever is caused by arthropod-borne spirochetes of the genus Borrelia and is clinically characterized by recurrent episodes of fever and spirochetemia. The endemic form of the disease is transmitted by a tick of the genus Ornithodoros , which is widely distributed throughout the eastern and western hemispheres. 1-3 The incubation period of the

Lymphadenosis benigna cutis resulting from Borrelia infection (Borrelia lymphocytoma)

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 1991
Swelling and erythema of the right pinna developed in a 7-year-old girl. Six months later a biopsy specimen showed a dense, diffuse lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate involving most of the dermis except for a thin Grenz zone. The appearance was consistent with lymphocytoma cutis.

Tick-Borne Borrelia Infection in Sweden

Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1985
Spirochetes were cultivated from 17% of 114 Ixodes ricinus ticks in the Stockholm area. Three strains of these spirochetes were selected for studies by electron microscopy. These three strains had definite morphological similarities to spirochetes of the genus Borrelia, as judged by the number of flagella, absence of cytoplasmic tubules, and dimensions.

[Hypertension in Borrelia infections].

Ugeskrift for laeger, 1991
A patient with severe hypertension caused by Borrelia burgdorferi-encephalitis is reported. The patient recovered from all symptoms following treatment with high dose cefuroxime. The diagnosis was not established until lumbar puncture was performed.

The mammalian host response to borrelia infection

Wiener klinische Wochenschrift, 2006
Tick-borne relapsing fever (RF) and Lyme disease (LD) are spirochetal infections of humans caused by different Borrelia species in endemic areas throughout the world. Our laboratory is studying the response of mammalian hosts to borrelia infection in RF and LD. For this, we use mice and non-human primates infected with B.
