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.

Use of mass-participation outdoor events to assess human exposure to tickborne pathogens [PDF]

, 2017
Mapping the public health threat of tickborne pathogens requires quantification of not only the density of infected host-seeking ticks but also the rate of human exposure to these ticks.

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 ...

Underrecognized Tickborne Illnesses: Borrelia Miyamotoi and Powassan Virus [PDF]

Wilderness & Environmental Medicine, 2021
Over the past 2 decades, tickborne disease has been increasingly recognized as a threat to humans as a result of the growing geographic range of ticks. This review describes 2 tickborne diseases, Borrelia miyamotoi and Powassan virus, that likely have a significant impact on humans, yet are underdiagnosed compared to most other tickborne diseases.

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:
