A new Borrelia on the block: Borrelia miyamotoi – a human health risk? [PDF]

Eurosurveillance, 2019
Background Borrelia miyamotoi clusters phylogenetically among relapsing fever borreliae, but is transmitted by hard ticks. Recent recognition as a human pathogen has intensified research into its ecology and pathogenic potential. Aims We aimed to provide

Complete genome sequence of Borrelia miyamotoi strain MN18-0001, an Am-East-2 strain type isolate derived from an Ixodes scapularis tick (Minnesota) [PDF]

Microbiol Resour Announc
We report the genomic sequence of the hard tick relapsing fever spirochete Borrelia miyamotoi strain MN18-0001. B. miyamotoi causes human illness and is geographically widespread in Ixodes spp. (Acari: Ixodidae) ticks.

Identifying suitable habitat for Ixodes scapularis (Acari: Ixodidae) infected with Anaplasma phagocytophilum (Rickettsiales: Anaplasmataceae), Babesia microti (Piroplasmida: Babesiidae), and Borrelia miyamotoi (Spirochaetales: Spirochaetaceae) to guide surveillance efforts in the eastern United Stat [PDF]

J Med Entomol, 2023
Understanding the distribution of infected ticks is informative for the estimation of risk for tickborne diseases. The blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis (Acari: Ixodidae), is the primary vector for 7 medically significant pathogens in United States ...

Surveillance of Borrelia miyamotoi-carrying ticks and genomic analysis of isolates in Inner Mongolia, China [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Background Borrelia miyamotoi is a newly described relapsing fever spirochete transmitted by ixodid tick species. Little is known about the prevalence of B. miyamotoi infections in humans and ticks in Inner Mongolia, China. Therefore, we investigated the

Prevalence of Borrelia miyamotoi and Neoehrlichia mikurensis in a cohort of tick-exposed individuals and population controls in Denmark 2002–2021

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
Borrelia miyamotoi and Neoehrlichia mikurensis are recently discovered tick-borne pathogens. The aim of this study was to ascertain the extent of transmission among high-risk groups and healthy controls.The study design is retrospective cohort study ...

Seasonal dynamics of tick burden and associated Borrelia burgdorferi s.l. and Borrelia miyamotoi infections in rodents in a Dutch forest ecosystem [PDF]

Exp Appl Acarol, 2022
Ixodes ricinus ticks transmit Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) as well as Borrelia miyamotoi. Larvae become infected when feeding on infected rodents, with horizontal transmission of B.

Global risk dynamics of Borrelia miyamotoi in the context of climate change

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 26, Issue 10, October 2024.
The habitat suitability index for primary vector ticks of Borrelia miyamotoi was projected using boosted regression tree models, considering multiple shared socio‐economic pathway scenarios over various time periods. A random forest model was used to predict the current and future potential risk areas of B. miyamotoi on a global scale.

Vitronectin binding protein, BOM1093, confers serum resistance on Borrelia miyamotoi [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2021
Borrelia miyamotoi, a member of the tick-borne relapsing fever spirochetes, shows a serum-resistant phenotype in vitro. This ability of B. miyamotoi may contribute to bacterial evasion of the host innate immune system.

644. Borrelia miyamotoi and Borrelia burgdorferi Seroprevalence in New England [PDF]

Open Forum Infectious Diseases, 2020
Abstract Background Diseases vectored by the tick species Ixodes scapularis have increased in incidence over the past 50 years and have been expanding into previously non-endemic areas. The emergence of Borrelia miyamotoi, a recently described spirochetal pathogen, has been less well documented than ...
