Estimates for Lyme borreliosis infections based on models using sentinel canine and human seroprevalence data

Infectious Disease Modelling, 2020
Two models were developed to estimate Lyme borreliosis (LB) cases. One was based on the seroprevalence of Borrelia infections in human samples. This model used corrections for false negative and false positive results from published test sensitivity and ...

Defensive medicine in dermatological practice – Dermatopathology as a mirror of structural challenges

JDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, EarlyView.
Summary Defensive medicine refers to diagnostic or therapeutic actions taken primarily to reduce legal liability rather than to benefit the patient. In dermatopathology, defensive practices manifest in frequent immunohistochemical testing, overly cautious report phrasing, and reliance on multidisciplinary tumor boards.

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

Fatal spinal cord compression in a horse with chronic actinobacterial cranial nuchal bursitis

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary A 14‐year‐old warmblood gelding was managed for waxing and waning cranial nuchal bursitis for 2 years. Intensive medical and surgical management was not curative, and the patient was subjected to euthanasia after becoming acutely recumbent. Ante‐mortem and post‐mortem next generation sequencing of bursal tissue and post‐mortem conventional PCR ...

High seroprevalence of Borrelia miyamotoi antibodies in forestry workers and individuals suspected of human granulocytic anaplasmosis in the Netherlands

New Microbes and New Infections, 2014
Substantial exposure to Borrelia miyamotoi occurs through bites from Ixodes ricinus ticks in the Netherlands, which also transmit Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato and Anaplasma phagocytophilum. Direct evidence for B.

Electrophoretic patterns of proteinuria in dogs with Cushing’s syndrome

Journal of Small Animal Practice, EarlyView.
Objectives To describe the electrophoretic pattern of proteinuria in dogs with naturally occurring Cushing’s syndrome. We hypothesised that urine protein electrophoresis in dogs with spontaneous Cushing’s syndrome will reveal glomerular proteinuria. We also hypothesised that the severity of proteinuria would decrease during treatment with trilostane ...

Long-term study of Borrelia and Babesia prevalence and co-infection in Ixodes ricinus and Dermacentor recticulatus ticks removed from humans in Poland, 2016–2019

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Background Lyme borreliosis (LB) is the most common vector-borne disease in Europe. Monitoring changes in the prevalence of different Borrelia species in ticks may be an important indicator of risk assessment and of differences in pathogenicity in humans.
