Borrelia valaisiana resist complement-mediated killing independently of the recruitment of immune regulators and inactivation of complement components

, 2013
Spirochetes belonging to the Borrelia (B.) burgdorferi sensu lato complex differ in their resistance to complement-mediated killing, particularly in regard to human serum.

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 ...

The Etiological Spectrum of Febrile Encephalopathy in Adult Patients: A Cross‐Sectional Study from a Developing Country

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).

Prediction of Novel Drug Targets and Vaccine Candidates against Human Lice (Insecta), Acari (Arachnida), and Their Associated Pathogens

Vaccines, 2021
The emergence of drug-resistant lice, acari, and their associated pathogens (APs) is associated with economic losses; thus, it is essential to find new appropriate therapeutic approaches.

“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.

Polymorphism of 41 kD Flagellin Gene and Its Human B‐Cell Epitope in Borrelia burgdorferi Strains of China

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.
