Immune Evasion Strategies of Relapsing Fever Spirochetes
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 Relapsing fever (RF) is claimed a neglected arthropod-borne disease caused by a number of diverse human pathogenic Borrelia (B.) species. These RF borreliae are separated into the groups of tick-transmitted species including B. duttonii, B.

Tick‐borne relapsing fever as a potential veterinary medical problem
Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 271-279, November 2018., 2018 Tick‐Borne Relapsing Fever is emerging as an important veterinary medical problem. Abstract Tick‐borne relapsing fever (TBRF) caused by the bacteria Borrelia, is poorly documented in veterinary medicine. Given the widespread presence of the soft tick vectors – Ornithodoros and the recently discovered hard tick vectors, as well as their close ...

Identifying Relapsing Fever Borrelia, Senegal
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2005 We describe a nested polymerase chain reaction for the identification of Borrelia species from serum of patients with unidentified fevers. This technique, based on single nucleotide polymorphisms of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene, was used to test blood ...

Body lice and bed bug co-infestation in an emergency department patient, Ohio, USA
IDCases, 2020 Body lice and bed bugs are hematophagous insects that parasitize humans. Body lice are established vectors of several bacterial pathogens (e.g. Bartonella quintana, Borrelia recurrentis).

Emergency Medicine International, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018 The profile of febrile encephalopathy varies based on different demographic and geographical characteristics of the study population. This retrospective, cross‐sectional study was conducted to evaluate the etiological spectrum of febrile encephalopathy in hospitalized adult patients. A total of 293 patients with the mean age of 49.7 ± 23 were evaluated

Structural Characterization of the Inflammatory Moiety of a Variable Major Lipoprotein of Borrelia recurrentis [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2000 Louse-borne relapsing fever, caused by Borrelia recurrentis, provides one of the best documented examples of the causative role of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in the pathology of severe infection in humans. We have identified the principal TNF-inducing factor of B. recurrentis as a variable major lipoprotein (Vmp).

“Ticking Bomb”: The Impact of Climate Change on the Incidence of Lyme Disease
Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018 Lyme disease (LD) is the most common tick‐borne disease in North America. It is caused by Borrelia burgdorferi and transmitted to humans by blacklegged ticks, Ixodes scapularis. The life cycle of the LD vector, I. scapularis, usually takes two to three years to complete and goes through three stages, all of which are dependent on environmental factors.

BioMed Research International, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016 The 41 kD flagellin of Borrelia burgdorferi (B. burgdorferi) is a major component of periplasmic flagellar filament core and a good candidate for serodiagnosis in early stage of Lyme disease. Here, we chose 89 B. burgdorferi strains in China, amplified the gene encoding the 41 kD flagellin, and compared the sequences.

Excretion of LivingBorrelia recurrentisin Feces of Infected Human Body Lice [PDF]
The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2005 Louse-borne relapsing fever (LBRF), caused by Borrelia recurrentis, is 1 of the most dangerous arthropod-borne diseases. Infection is thought to occur through louse crushing. Lice feces have not been shown to contain living borreliae. We infected 800 body lice by feeding them on a rabbit made spirochetemic by the injection of 2 x 106 borreliae.
