Uptake and killing of Lyme disease and relapsing fever borreliae in the perfused rat liver and by isolated Kupffer cells

, 1996
In situ-perfused rat livers were infused with a single dose of 1.5 x 107 radiolabeled borreliae. Significant (P < 0.00005) differences in the liver uptake of the agents of Lyme borreliosis, Borrelia burgdorferi IRS, Borrelia afzelii VS461, and ...

Complement factor H-related proteins CFHR2 and CFHR5 represent novel ligands for the infection-associated CRASP proteins of Borrelia burgdorferi [PDF]

, 2010
Background: One virulence property of Borrelia burgdorferi is its resistance to innate immunity, in particular to complement-mediated killing. Serum-resistant B.

Borrelia recurrentis Characterization and Comparison with Relapsing-Fever, Lyme-Associated, and Other Borrelia spp. [PDF]

, 1998
P(論文)シラミ媒介性回帰熱の起因菌であるBorrelia recurrentisは、これまで培養が不可能であったことからその性状はあまり知られていない。我々はシラミ媒介性回帰熱の患者から18株のボレリアの培養に成功し、これら分離株の性状について検討した。電子顕微鏡像、G+C含量、DNA相同性、鞭毛遺伝子あるいは16SrRNA遺伝子の塩基配列、SDS-PAGE、PFGEによる解析を行い、回帰熱ボレリア、ライム病関連ボレリア、その他ボレリア属に属する種との比較を行った。Borrelia ...

Emerg Infect Dis

We conducted surveillance studies in Sinaloa, Mexico, to determine the circulation of tick-borne relapsing fever spirochetes. We collected argasid ticks from a home in the village of Camayeca and isolated spirochetes.

Defining strain variation in the maintenance of Borrelia turicatae during hyperparasitism and transovarial transmission in the tick vector

Abstract Tick-borne relapsing fever (TBRF) spirochetes are maintained in nature through vector-associated transmission routes primarily in argasid ticks. However, the extent to which strain-level differences influence the maintenance of TBRF spirochetes remains unclear.

Surface Localization Determinants of Borrelia OspC/Vsp Family Lipoproteins

, 2011
The dimeric OspC/Vsp family surface lipoproteins of Borrelia spirochetes are crucial to the transmission and persistence of Lyme borreliosis and tick-borne relapsing fever.

Identification of a Protein in Several Borrelia Species which is Related to OspC of the Lyme Disease Spirochetes. [PDF]

, 1993
Using oligonucleotide probes which have previously been shown to be specific for the ospC gene found in the Lyme disease spirochete species Borrelia burgdorferi, B. garinii, and group VS461, we detected an ospC homolog in other Borrelia species including

Ticks Tick Borne Dis [PDF]

Human cases of relapsing fever (RF) in North America are caused primarily by Borrelia hermsii and Borrelia turicatae, which are spread by argasid (soft) ticks, and by Borrelia miyamotoi, which is transmitted by ixodid (hard) ticks. In some regions of the
