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 ...

‘Reservoir dogs’: The emerging zoonotic risk associated with European dog imports to the UK

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The movement of dogs from continental Europe to the UK poses a growing public health threat due to the associated risk of disease incursions. Current legislation is insufficient to address the risks and pre‐import control measures are focused only on rabies virus and the fox tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis. Methods We conducted

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.

Putting Rodents at the Center of One Health Programs: A Narrative Synthesis

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Rodents link human, animal, and environmental health across diverse ecosystems. Rodent diversity underpins both zoonotic disease risk and ecosystem function. Environmental change reshapes rodent communities and spillover dynamics. Rodents act as reservoirs, amplifiers, and sentinels of emerging pathogens.

Experimental Infections of the Reservoir Species Peromyscus leucopus with Diverse Strains of Borrelia burgdorferi, a Lyme Disease Agent

mBio, 2012
The rodent Peromyscus leucopus is a major natural reservoir for the Lyme disease agent Borrelia burgdorferi and a host for its vector Ixodes scapularis. At various locations in northeastern United States 10 to 15 B.

Drivers of Host–Pathogen Community Assemblages in European Forests and Urban Green Spaces

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite advances in understanding infectious diseases, the persistence and re‐emergence of wildlife pathogens continue to raise public and veterinary health concerns. This study investigates the relationship between biodiversity and rodent‐borne diseases in Europe, focusing on habitat alterations and their impact on rodent diversity.

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.

Extranodal Marginal Zone Lymphoma: Integrating Etiology, Microenvironment, and Genetics Into Clinical Decision‐Making

European Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (EMZL) represents a unique paradigm among indolent B‐cell neoplasms, in which lymphomagenesis is frequently driven by chronic antigenic stimulation within tissue‐specific microenvironments. Persistent infectious or autoimmune triggers promote the development of ectopic lymphoid tissue and sustain B‐cell ...

Prevalence and diversity of Borrelia spp. in questing ticks from urban green spaces in Lithuania

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
Lithuania is a highly endemic area for Lyme borreliosis (LB), and Ixodes ricinus, the primary vector of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) in Europe, is widespread throughout the country.

Borrelia burgdorferi infection and Lyme disease in children [PDF]

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2013
Lyme disease is a multisystem disease that frequently affects children. It is caused by a group of related spirochetes, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, that are transmitted by ticks belonging to species of the genus Ixodes. The clinical characteristics of Lyme disease in pediatrics resemble those observed in adults, although the symptoms may last for ...
