A new Borrelia on the block: Borrelia miyamotoi – a human health risk? [PDF]

Eurosurveillance, 2019
Background Borrelia miyamotoi clusters phylogenetically among relapsing fever borreliae, but is transmitted by hard ticks. Recent recognition as a human pathogen has intensified research into its ecology and pathogenic potential. Aims

Spirochetal Lipoproteins and Immune Evasion. [PDF]

, 2017
Spirochetes are a major threat to public health. However, the exact pathogenesis of spirochetal diseases remains unclear. Spirochetes express lipoproteins that often determine the cross talk between the host and spirochetes.

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.

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

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).

First evidence of established populations of the taiga tick Ixodes persulcatus (Acari: Ixodidae) in Sweden [PDF]

, 2016
Background: The tick species Ixodes ricinus and I. persulcatus are of exceptional medical importance in the western and eastern parts, respectively, of the Palaearctic region. In Russia and Finland the range of I. persulcatus has recently increased.

The Release of Non‐Native Gamebirds Is Associated With Amplified Zoonotic Disease Risk

Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 4, April 2025.
Spillback is potentially an important mechanism by which non‐natives contribute to zoonotic disease emergence. We capitalise on quasi‐experimental releases of non‐native pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) to compare native pathogen prevalence between sites with similar local conditions but different non‐native densities. Prevalence of Borrelia sp.

644. Borrelia miyamotoi and Borrelia burgdorferi Seroprevalence in New England [PDF]

Open Forum Infect Dis, 2020
Abstract Background Diseases vectored by the tick species Ixodes scapularis have increased in incidence over the past 50 years and have been expanding into previously non-endemic areas. The emergence of Borrelia miyamotoi, a recently described spirochetal pathogen, has been less well documented than ...

Genomic blueprint of a relapsing fever pathogen in 15th century Scandinavia [PDF]

, 2018
Louse-borne relapsing fever (LBRF) is known to have killed millions of people over the course of European history and remains a major cause of mortality in parts of the world. Its pathogen, Borrelia recurrentis, shares a common vector with global killers

Opinion and report of the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) on the assessment of the impact of fox population dynamics on public health

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 3, Issue 2, April 2025.
ABSTRACT The Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) can be hunted as a game species. It may also be listed as a “species likely to cause damage” (ESOD – the acronym in French), for public health reasons among others. Conversely, benefits linked to the presence of foxes are also put forward, such as the predation of rodents carrying zoonotic agents.
