Meningoencephalitis fromBorrelia miyamotoiin an Immunocompromised Patient [PDF]

New England Journal of Medicine, 2013
Ixodes ticks serve as vectors for Borrelia burgdorferi, the agent of Lyme disease. Globally, these ticks often concurrently harbor B. miyamotoi, a spirochete that is classified within the relapsing-fever group of spirochetes. Although humans presumably are exposed to B. miyamotoi, there are limited data suggesting disease attributable to it.

Two Cases of Borrelia miyamotoi Meningitis, Sweden, 2018. [PDF]

Emerg Infect Dis, 2019
We report 2 human cases of Borrelia miyamotoi disease diagnosed in Sweden, including 1 case of meningitis in an apparently immunocompetent patient. The diagnoses were confirmed by 3 different independent PCR assays and DNA sequencing from cerebrospinal fluid, supplemented by serologic analyses.

Severe Necrotizing Community‐Acquired Pneumonia and Bilateral Empyema in an Immunocompetent Patient due to Fusobacterium necrophorum

Case Reports in Pulmonology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Necrotizing pneumonia and empyema caused by Fusobacterium necrophorum are uncommon. The classical presentation of Lemierre′s syndrome, characterized by pharyngotonsillitis and internal jugular vein thrombosis, is not always observed, and incomplete and atypical variants can cause diagnostic uncertainty and delay in treatment.

Borrelia spp. in small mammals in Romania

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Small mammals play an important role in the life-cycle of ticks and are reservoirs for several zoonotic pathogens. The aim of this study was to provide epidemiological data regarding the presence of Borrelia spp.

Assessment of Borrelia miyamotoi in febrile patients and ticks in Alsace, an endemic area for Lyme borreliosis in France

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background Borrelia miyamotoi is a relapsing fever Borrelia species transmitted by ticks of the Ixodes ricinus complex. Human disease caused by B. miyamotoi was first described in Russia and later in the USA and Japan.

Surveillance of Zoonotic Pathogens in Small Mammals Across Forests With Different Levels of Anthropization in Eastern France

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The emergence of infectious diseases associated with land‐use changes is well‐documented. However, the presence and dynamics of zoonotic pathogens in small mammals within European forests, whether from rural development or urban greening, remain underexplored.

Long-term in vitro cultivation of Borrelia miyamotoi

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2015
Borrelia are fastidious bacteria some of which are difficult to grow in vitro. Here, we report a method for successful continuous in vitro cultivation of the emerging pathogen Borrelia miyamotoi. The type and quantity of serum as well as the atmosphere were critical for successful in vitro cultivation. Optimal growth was achieved using 50% pooled human

Human Borrelia miyamotoi Infection in the United States [PDF]

New England Journal of Medicine, 2013
A tickborne pathogen, Borrelia miyamotoi, has recently been shown to cause disease in humans. A serologic survey showed that infection with this organism is not uncommon in the Northeast.

Borrelia miyamotoi BipA-like protein, BipM, is a candidate serodiagnostic antigen distinguishing between Lyme disease and relapsing fever Borrelia infections

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
A Borrelia miyamotoi gene with partial homology to bipA of relapsing fever spirochetes Borrelia hermsii and Borrelia turicatae was identified by a GenBank basic alignment search analysis.

Spatial Heterogeneity of Tick‐Borne Pathogens Outpaces Genetic Structuring in Anatolian Dermacentor reticulatus Populations

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Understanding how vector population structure influences pathogen circulation remains a major challenge in tick‐borne disease ecology, particularly in biogeographically transitional regions. Dermacentor reticulatus, a widespread Palearctic tick species and vector of multiple pathogens, provides a useful system to investigate this relationship in a ...
