Asymptomatic Infection with Borrelia burgdorferi [PDF]

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2003
The natural history of asymptomatic seroconversion to Borrelia burgdorferi has been unclear. We report here, on the basis of a post hoc assessment, the frequency and outcome of asymptomatic seroconversion to B. burgdorferi in participants of a large Lyme disease vaccine trial. We show that infection with B.

Questing Ixodes ricinus ticks and Borrelia spp. in urban green space across Europe: A review

Zoonoses and Public Health, 2022
For more than three decades, it has been recognized that Ixodes ricinus ticks occur in urban green space in Europe and that they harbour multiple pathogens linked to both human and animal diseases. Urban green space use for health and well‐being, climate

Borrelia miyamotoi Infections in Humans and Ticks, Northeastern China

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2018
We conducted an investigation of Borrelia miyamotoi infections in humans and ticks in northeastern China. Of 984 patients reporting recent tick bites, 14 (1.4%) were found to be infected with B. miyamotoi by PCR and genomic sequencing.

Mechanism of Borrelia immune evasion by FhbA-related proteins.

PLoS Pathogens, 2022
Immune evasion facilitates survival of Borrelia, leading to infections like relapsing fever and Lyme disease. Important mechanism for complement evasion is acquisition of the main host complement inhibitor, factor H (FH). By determining the 2.2 Å crystal

Virulence of recurrent infestations with Borrelia-infected ticks in a Borrelia-amplifying bird [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2015
AbstractLyme disease cases caused byBorrelia burgdorferis.l. bacteria is increasing steadily in Europe, in part due to the expansion of the vector,Ixodes ricinus. Wild reservoir hosts are typically recurrently infested. Understanding the impact of these cumulative parasite exposures on the host’s health is, therefore, central to predict the ...
