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

Variable effects of wildlife and livestock on questing tick abundance across a topographical–climatic gradient

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2025.
Abstract Large‐bodied wild ungulates are declining worldwide, while domestic livestock continue to increase in abundance. Such changes in large herbivore communities should have strong effects on the control of ticks and tick‐borne disease as they can indirectly modify habitat and directly serve as final hosts for ticks' lifecycles.

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.

Lyme neuroborreliosis in Japan: Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato as a cause of meningitis of previously undetermined etiology in hospitalized patients outside of the island of Hokkaido, 2010–2021

European Journal of Neurology, Volume 32, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract Background and Purpose Clinical manifestations of Lyme borreliosis (LB), caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (Bbsl), include erythema migrans, Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB), carditis, and arthritis. LB is a notifiable disease in Japan with <30 surveillance‐reported LB cases annually, predominately from Hokkaido Prefecture.

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 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.

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.
