Toward a Complete North American Borrelia miyamotoi Genome [PDF]

Genome Announcements, 2017
ABSTRACT Borrelia miyamotoi , of the relapsing-fever spirochete group, is an emerging tick-borne pathogen causing human illness in the northern hemisphere. Here, we present the chromosome, eight extrachromosomal linear plasmids, and a draft sequence for five circular and one linear plasmid of a Borrelia ...

BACTERICIDAL EFFECT OF HUMAN SERUM ON BORRELIA MIYAMOTOI, CAUSATIVE AGENT OF IXODES TICK-BORNE BORRELIOSIS

Журнал микробиологии, эпидемиологии и иммунобиологии, 2018
Aim. In this paper we investigate the impacts of co-incubation of Borrelia miyamotoi with neutrophils. Materials and methods. Spirochetes B. miyamotoi, strain HT31, were incubated 3 hours at 37°C with neutrophils of healthy donors (5*106 cells/ml) in a 1:

Co-infections with multiple pathogens in natural populations of Ixodes persulcatus ticks in Mongolia

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
Background In Mongolia, the taiga tick Ixodes persulcatus is the major vector of tick-borne pathogens. Knowledge about co-infections of these pathogens in ticks is necessary both for understanding their persistence in nature and for diagnosing and ...

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

Open Forum Infect Dis, 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 ...

Immunoproteomic analysis of Borrelia miyamotoi for the identification of serodiagnostic antigens. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2019
AbstractThe tick-borne spirochete,Borrelia miyamotoi, is an emerging pathogen of public health significance. CurrentB.miyamotoiserodiagnostic testing depends on reactivity against GlpQ which is not highly sensitive on acute phase serum samples. Additionally, anti-B.miyamotoiantibodies can cross-react with C6 antigen testing forB.burgdorferi, the ...

Molecular Screening of Black Flies (Diptera: Simuliidae) for Vector‐Borne Zoonotic Pathogens, South Moravia, Czech Republic

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 1, Page 95-106, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Black flies (Simuliidae) are globally distributed blood‐feeding arthropods and vectors of viral, bacterial, and parasitic pathogens to many animal species, including humans. We investigated the occurrence of selected vector‐borne pathogens in black flies in South Moravia, Czech Republic, and evaluated their possible role in the ...

Borrelia Infections Under B Cell‐Depleting Therapies: A Systematic Review of Diagnostic Challenges and Outcomes With Special Focus on Neurological Forms

European Journal of Neurology, Volume 33, Issue 1, January 2026.
Neurological infections caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato and Borrelia miyamotoi are increasingly reported in patients receiving anti‐CD20 therapies and should be considered in cases presenting with neurological symptoms and cerebrospinal fluid pleocytosis.
