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 ...

Isolation of Borrelia miyamotoi and other Borreliae using a modified BSK medium

Scientific Reports, 2021
Borrelia spirochetes are the causative agents of Lyme borreliosis (LB) and relapsing fever (RF). Despite the steady rise in infections and the identification of new species causing human illness over the last decade, isolation of borreliae in culture has

Infection Risk From Humans and Animals in the Anatomy Laboratory: A Scoping Review

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Whole‐body dissection is a cornerstone of anatomy education. During and following the COVID‐19 pandemic, exposure to infectious agents and other risks of dissection were highlighted. To identify potential risks, one must have the data outlining these risks in specific situations.

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.

B-1 Cell Heterogeneity and the Regulation of Natural and Antigen-Induced IgM Production. [PDF]

, 2016
A small subset of B cells, termed B-1 cells, with developmental origins, phenotypes, and functions that are distinct from those of conventional B cells exist in mice. It contributes the vast majority of spontaneously produced "natural" IgM.

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.

Non-systemic transmission of tick-borne diseases: a network approach [PDF]

, 2016
Tick-Borne diseases can be transmitted via non-systemic (NS) transmission. This occurs when tick gets the infection by co-feeding with infected ticks on the same host resulting in a direct pathogen transmission between the vectors, without infecting the ...

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.
