Borreliainfections of ruminants in Europe
The occurrence of Borrelia spirochaetes in cattle in the Netherlands is reported for the second time, and in red deer and roe-deer in Austria for the first time. It is postulated that these spirochaetes are Borrelia burgdorferi rather than B. theileri. The reservoir role of ruminants in the epidemiology of human disease caused by B.

Citizen Science Tick Observations Serve as an Early Warning System for Tick‐Borne Diseases
ABSTRACT Introduction Tick observation data collected through citizen science is increasingly utilised to map tick‐borne infection risk areas indirectly, that is, based on the rate of tick encounters or occurrence of ticks. However, direct associations between tick observations and Lyme borreliosis (LB) cases have received little attention.

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

Ability to cause erythema migrans differs between Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato isolates [PDF]
Background: Lyme borreliosis is a tick-borne disease caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. The variety of characteristic and non-specific clinical manifestations is partially explained by its genetic diversity.

Borrelia burgdorferi Infection in Biglycan Knockout Mice
Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato spirochetes (Borrelia) causing Lyme borreliosis are able to disseminate from the initial entry site to distant organs in the host. Outer-surface adhesins are crucial in the bacterial dissemination and adhesion to various tissues.

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

Population dynamics of Borrelia burgdorferi in Lyme disease
Many chronic inflammatory diseases are known to be caused by persistent bacterial or viral infections. A well-studied example is the tick-borne infection by the gram-negative Spirochaetes of the genus Borrelia in humans and other mammals, causing severe ...

TCD4pos lymphocytosis in rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis patients following TNFα blocking agents [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Lymphocyte expansion and true lymphocytosis are commonly observed in the everyday clinical practice. The meaning of such phenomenon is often poorly understood so that discrimination between benign and malignant lymphocytosis remains ...
