Isogenic Serotypes ofBorrelia turicataeShow Different Localization in the Brain and Skin of Mice [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 2001
ABSTRACTMice with severe combined immunodeficiency (scidmice) and infected with the relapsing fever agentBorrelia turicataedevelop manifestations that resemble those of disseminated Lyme disease. We have characterized two isogenic serotypes, A and B, which differ in their variable small proteins (Vsps) and disease manifestations.

Borrelia miyamotoi BipA-like protein, BipM, is a candidate serodiagnostic antigen distinguishing between Lyme disease and relapsing fever Borrelia infections

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
A Borrelia miyamotoi gene with partial homology to bipA of relapsing fever spirochetes Borrelia hermsii and Borrelia turicatae was identified by a GenBank basic alignment search analysis.

First Cases of Natural Infections with Borrelia hispanica in Two Dogs and a Cat from Europe

Microorganisms, 2020
Canine cases of relapsing fever (RF) borreliosis have been described in Israel and the USA, where two RF species, Borrelia turicatae and Borrelia hermsii, can cause similar clinical signs to the Borrelia persica in dogs and cats reported from Israel ...

Blood meal metabarcoding of the argasid tick (Ornithodoros turicata Dugès) reveals extensive vector‐host associations

Environmental DNA
Molecular methods to understand host feeding patterns of arthropod vectors are critical to assess exposure risk to vector‐borne disease and unveil complex ecological interactions.

Serological detection of Tick-Borne Relapsing Fever in Texan domestic dogs.

PLoS ONE, 2017
Tick-Borne Relapsing Fever (TBRF) is caused by spirochetes in the genus Borrelia. Very limited information exists on the incidence of this disease in humans and domestic dogs in the United States.

The Diadenylate Cyclase CdaA Is Critical for Borrelia turicatae Virulence and Physiology. [PDF]

Infect Immun, 2021
Relapsingfever (RF), caused by spirochetes of the genusBorrelia, is a globally distributed, vector-borne disease with high prevalence in developing countries. To date, signaling pathways required for infection and virulence of RFBorreliaspirochetes are unknown.Cyclicdi-AMP(c-di-AMP), synthesized bydiadenylatecyclases (DACs), is a second messenger ...

Characterization of the arthropod associated lipoprotein (Alp) in the tick-mammalian transmission cycle of Borrelia turicatae. [PDF]

Ticks Tick Borne Dis, 2022
Pathogenic species of Borrelia are etiological agents of tick-borne relapsing fever (TBRF). Most species of TBRF Borrelia are transmitted by argasid ticks, and persistent colonization of the salivary glands is vital for spirochete transmission. This is due to the fast-feeding dynamics of the vector.

Colony formation in solid medium by the relapsing fever spirochetes Borrelia hermsii and Borrelia turicatae. [PDF]

Ticks Tick Borne Dis, 2018
Relapsing fever (RF) in North America is caused primarily by the spirochete Borrelia hermsii and is associated with the bite of its tick vector Ornithodoros hermsi. Although this spirochete was known long before the discovery of the Lyme disease (LD) spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi, basic methods to facilitate the study of B.

Multifunctional interaction of CihC/FbpC orthologs of relapsing fever spirochetes with host-derived proteins involved in adhesion, fibrinolysis, and complement evasion [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology
IntroductionRelapsing fever (RF) remains a neglected human disease that is caused by a number of diverse pathogenic Borrelia (B.) species. Characterized by high cell densities in human blood, relapsing fever spirochetes have developed plentiful ...

Crystal Structure of Borrelia turicatae protein, BTA121, a differentially regulated  gene in the tick-mammalian transmission cycle of relapsing fever spirochetes. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2017
Tick-borne relapsing fever (RF) borreliosis is a neglected disease that is often misdiagnosed. RF species circulating in the United States include Borrelia turicatae, which is transmitted by argasid ticks.
