Host, vector, and parasite dynamics: exploring intrinsic and extrinsic factors shaping tick‐borne filarial nematode transmission

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tick‐borne filarial nematodes are a complex and understudied group of parasites that rely on ticks for transmission in vertebrates. This review examines how intrinsic and extrinsic factors may influence the successful transmission of filarial nematodes in tick vectors, drawing insights from extensively studied haematophagous dipteran vector ...

The chemokine CXCL13 in acute neuroborreliosis [PDF]

, 2009
Objective Recent studies have suggested an important role of the B cell chemoattractant CXCL13 in acute neuroborreliosis (NB). Our aim was to confirm the diagnostic role of CXCL13 and to evaluate its relevance as a therapy response and disease activity ...

ULK4 and CDKN2A polymorphisms influence the risk of developing monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) is an asymptomatic precursor to multiple myeloma, sharing substantial genetic features with overt malignancy. Given evidence implicating autophagy in myeloma risk, this study examined whether genetic variations in autophagy‐related genes influence MGUS susceptibility.

Lyme neuroborreliosis as initial expression of Lyme disease in an elderly patient

European Journal of Case Reports in Internal Medicine
Background: Lyme disease (LD) is a multisystemic infection caused by Borrelia burgdorferi and transmitted by Ixodes ticks, affecting the skin, nervous system, heart and joints. Neuroborreliosis (LNB), a nervous system manifestation of LD, occurs in 10–15%

Correlation between COVID-19 severity and previous exposure of patients to Borrelia spp.

Scientific Reports, 2022
Predictors for the risk of severe COVID-19 are crucial for patient care and control of the disease. Other infectious diseases as potential comorbidities in SARS-CoV-2 infection are still poorly understood.

A case of ocular lesions in a patient with both tick borne borreliosis and toxoplasmosis

Journal of Ophthalmology, 2021
Background: The prevalence of tick borne borreliosis has increased significantly in recent years. There have been reports on conjunctivitis, anterior uveitis, optic neuritis and other inflammatory eye diseases caused by Borrelia species.

Borrelia Diversity and Co-infection with Other Tick Borne Pathogens in Ticks [PDF]

, 2017
Identifying Borrelia burgdorferi as the causative agent of Lyme disease in 1981 was a watershed moment in understanding the major impact that tick-borne zoonoses can have on public health worldwide, particularly in Europe and the USA.

Borrelia persica infection in rock hyraxes

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2018
Tick-borne relapsing fever (TBRF) is an acute infectious disease caused by arthropod-borne spirochetes of the genus Borrelia and characterized by recurrent episodes of fever. Borrelia persica, the causative agent of this disease in Israel, is transmitted by the argasid tick Ornithodoros tholozani.

Borrelia and Genital Lichen Sclerosus: A Critical Review of the Evidence

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Lichen sclerosus (LSc) is a chronic inflammatory dermatosis that primarily affects the genitalia. Growing evidence supports chronic occlusive urine exposure as the principal pathogenic driver, though other mechanisms, including mechanical irritation, hormonal influences, autoimmunity, and infection, have been proposed.

Seroprevalence in Bats and Detection of Borrelia burgdorferi in Bat Ectoparasites

Microorganisms, 2020
The role of bats in the enzootic cycle of Lyme disease and relapsing fever-causing bacteria is a matter of speculation. In Canada, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto (ss) is the genospecies that is responsible for most cases of Lyme disease in humans. In
