Ecological dynamics of blacklegged ticks, vertebrate hosts, and associated zoonotic pathogens in northeastern forests

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Specific host‐tick interactions in temperate forest systems influence variation in density and infection prevalence of nymphal blacklegged tick (Ixodes scapularis). The density of infected nymphs (DIN), which is the product of nymphal infection prevalence (NIP) and density of questing nymphs (DON), influences the risk of human exposure to tick‐

Molecular Characterization of Anaplasma , Ehrlichia, Babesia , and Borrelia in Ticks from Guangdong Province of Southern China

Zoonoses, 2023
Tick-borne pathogens have become emerging global health threats in humans and animals. The objective of the present study was to investigate Anaplasma, Ehrlichia, Babesia , and Borrelia in ticks in southern China. Ticks were collected from animals and

Homology of variable major protein genes between Borrelia hermsii and Borrelia miyamotoi [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1996
Antigenic variation has been studied in detail for the etiological agent of relapsing fever, Borrelia hermsii. The variable major proteins (vmps) are found at its cell surface, enabling it to avoid the host's immune response. We have cloned and sequenced the vmp-gene (vmp)-like sequences from the Borrelia miyamotoi strains HT31 and FR64b and the ...

Borrelia miyamotoi sensu lato Seroreactivity and Seroprevalence in the Northeastern United States

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014
Borrelia miyamotoi sensu lato, a relapsing fever Borrelia sp., is transmitted by the same ticks that transmit B. burgdorferi (the Lyme disease pathogen) and occurs in all Lyme disease–endemic areas of the United States. To determine the seroprevalence of

Navigating infection by pathogenic spirochetes: The host‐bacteria interface at the atomic level

Protein Science, Volume 34, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract Pathogenic spirochetes bind and interact with various host structures and molecules throughout the course of infection. By utilizing their outer surface molecules, spirochetes can effectively modulate their dissemination, interact with immune system regulators, and select specific destination niches within the host.

Detection of Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Lato and Relapsing Fever Borrelia in Feeding Ixodes Ticks and Rodents in Sarawak, Malaysia: New Geographical Records of Borrelia yangtzensis and Borrelia miyamotoi

Pathogens, 2020
Members of the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (Bbsl) complex are etiological agents of Lyme disease (LD), and Borrelia miyamotoi is one of the relapsing fever Borrelia (RFB).

There Goes the Neighbourhood—A Multi‐City Study Reveals Ticks and Tick‐Borne Pathogens Commonly Occupy Urban Green Spaces

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 72, Issue 3, Page 313-323, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction Humans acquire tick‐borne pathogens (TBPs) from infected ticks contacted during outdoor activities. Outdoor activity is at its highest in urban green spaces, where the presence of tick populations has increasingly been observed. Consequently, more insight into factors influencing the presence of ticks therein is needed.

Identification of immunoreactive linear epitopes of Borrelia miyamotoi

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2019
Abstract Borrelia miyamotoi is an emerging tick-borne spirochete transmitted by Ixodid ticks. Current serologic assays for B. miyamotoi are impacted by genetic similarities to other Borrelia ...

Dynamics of Spirochetemia and Early PCR Detection of Borrelia miyamotoi [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2018
We investigated whether Borrelia miyamotoi disease can be detected in its early stage by using PCR for borrelial 16S rRNA, which molecule (DNA or RNA) is the best choice for this test, and whether spirochetes are present in blood during the acute phase of B. miyamotoi disease.
