Differential Impact of Simultaneous or Sequential Coinfections With Borrelia afzelii and Tick‐Borne Encephalitis Virus on the Ixodes ricinus Microbiota

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Ticks, particularly Ixodes ricinus, are significant vectors of pathogens such as Borrelia spp. and tick‐borne encephalitis virus (TBEV), which cause Lyme borreliosis (LB) and tick‐borne encephalitis (TBE), respectively. Understanding how these pathogens interact within the tick microbiome is essential for developing vector control strategies.

Ticks and Tick‐Borne Pathogens Encountered by Dogs and Cats: A North European Perspective

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Climate change is increasing the worldwide burden of tick‐borne diseases (TBDs). Dramatic increases in human cases of borreliosis have been reported during the past few decades, including from Finland, located in North Europe. As human exposure to ticks carrying pathogens is increasing, so likely is exposure of dogs and cats.

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

Multiple and Diverse vsp and vlp Sequences in Borrelia miyamotoi, a Hard Tick-Borne Zoonotic Pathogen. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Based on chromosome sequences, the human pathogen Borrelia miyamotoi phylogenetically clusters with species that cause relapsing fever. But atypically for relapsing fever agents, B. miyamotoi is transmitted not by soft ticks but by hard ticks, which also

Clinical and laboratory characteristics during a 1‐year follow‐up in European Lyme neuroborreliosis: A prospective cohort study

European Journal of Neurology, Volume 31, Issue 12, December 2024.
Abstract Background and Purpose We need more knowledge on clinical presentations, time course, biomarkers, and prognosis in European Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB). Methods A prospective 12‐month follow‐up of predetermined clinical and laboratory parameters was undertaken in 105 patients with LNB.

Climate‐associated variation in the within‐season dynamics of juvenile ticks in California

Ecosphere, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2024.
Abstract Changing climate has driven shifts in species phenology, influencing a range of ecological interactions from plant–pollinator to consumer–resource. Phenological changes in host–parasite systems have implications for pathogen transmission dynamics.

Borrelia miyamotoi Disease in an Immunocompetent Patient, Western Europe

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2018
Borrelia miyamotoi disease is a hard tick–borne relapsing fever illness that occurs across the temperate climate zone. Human B. miyamotoi disease in immunocompetent patients has been described in Russia, North America, and Japan. We describe a case of B.

Metagenomic 16S rRNA gene sequencing survey of Borrelia species in Irish samples of Ixodes ricinus ticks.

PLoS ONE, 2019
The spirochetal bacterium Borrelia miyamotoi is a human pathogen and has been identified in many countries throughout the world. This study reports for the first time the presence of Borrelia miyamotoi in Ireland, and confirms prior work with the ...

Genome resequencing reveals population divergence and local adaptation of blacklegged ticks in the United States

Molecular Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 15, August 2024.
Abstract Tick vectors and tick‐borne disease are increasingly impacting human populations globally. An important challenge is to understand tick movement patterns, as this information can be used to improve management and predictive modelling of tick population dynamics.
