Think Outside the Lyme Box: Optic Neuropathy and Polyarthritis Caused by Borrelia miyamotoi [PDF]
CureusBorrelia miyamotoi disease (BMD) is an emerging tick-borne infection that can cause a range of symptoms. While typically presenting as an acute febrile illness, less common but significant complications, such as optic neuropathy, can occur. We describe a

Case report: First case of Borrelia miyamotoi meningitis in an immunocompromised patient in Norway [PDF]
IDCases, 2023 Background Tick-borne disease caused by B. miyamotoi (BMD) usually manifest as a febrile illness in humans. Complications include relapsing fever and in rare occasions involvement of the central nervous system.

Borrelia miyamotoi FbpA and FbpB Are Immunomodulatory Outer Surface Lipoproteins With Distinct Structures and Functions [PDF]
Front Immunol, 2022 Pathogens that traffic in the blood of their hosts must employ mechanisms to evade the host innate immune system, including the complement cascade. The Lyme disease spirochete, Borreliella burgdorferi, has evolved numerous outer membrane lipoproteins ...

Borrelia miyamotoi in wild rodents from four different regions of Turkey. [PDF]
Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2023 Borrelia miyamotoi is a tick-borne zoonotic agent that causes hard tick-borne relapsing fever, an emerging disease in humans. Some small mammalian and bird species are reported to be reservoirs of B. miyamotoi. This study aims to examine Borrelia species

In Vitro Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Clinical Isolates of Borrelia miyamotoi [PDF]
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2018 ABSTRACT Borrelia miyamotoi is an emerging relapsing fever (RF) Borrelia species that is reported to cause human disease in regions in which Lyme borreliosis is endemic. We recently showed that B. miyamotoi tick isolates are resistant to amoxicillin in vitro

Borrelia miyamotoi–Associated Neuroborreliosis in Immunocompromised Person
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2016 Borrelia miyamotoi is a newly recognized human pathogen in the relapsing fever group of spirochetes. We investigated a case of B. miyamotoi infection of the central nervous system resembling B. burgdorferi-induced Lyme neuroborreliosis and determined that this emergent agent of central nervous system infection can be diagnosed with existing methods.

Borrelia miyamotoi infection in nature and in humans [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2015 Borrelia miyamotoi is a relapsing fever Borrelia group spirochete that is transmitted by the same hard-bodied (ixodid) tick species that transmit the agents of Lyme disease. It was discovered in 1994 in Ixodes persulcatus ticks in Japan. B. miyamotoi species phylogenetically cluster with the relapsing fever group spirochetes, which usually are ...
