Chromosome and Linear Plasmid Sequences of a 2015 Human Isolate of the Tick-Borne Relapsing Fever Spirochete, Borrelia turicatae [PDF]

Genome Announcements, 2016
ABSTRACT The sequences of the complete linear chromosome and 7 linear plasmids of the relapsing fever spirochete Borrelia turicatae are presented in this report. The 925,547 bp of chromosome and 380,211 bp of plasmid sequence were predicted to contain a total of 1,131 open reading frames, with an average G+

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

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.

Typing of Borrelia Relapsing Fever Group Strains [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2004
Partial sequencing of the 16S-23S rDNA intergenic spacer showed two to four genotypes each for Borrelia hermsii and B. turicatae, both relapsing fever agents transmitted by argasid ticks, and for B. miyamotoi and B. lonestari, transmitted by ixodid ticks.

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

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 ...

Isolation and Genetic Characterization of the Human Relapsing Fever Spirochete <i>Borrelia persica</i> from a Dog with Improved Cultivation Techniques. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
Borrelia persica is the causative agent of tick‐borne relapsing fever in Israel and is prevalent in the Eastern Mediterranean basin and parts of Asia. Infection with B. persica causes severe illness and potentially life‐threatening complications in humans and companion animals. Isolation and in vitro cultivation of B.

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 ...

Detection of relapsing fever Borrelia spp., Bartonella spp. and Anaplasmataceae bacteria in argasid ticks in Algeria. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2017
BackgroundArgasid ticks (soft ticks) are blood-feeding arthropods that can parasitize rodents, birds, humans, livestock and companion animals. Ticks of the Ornithodoros genus are known to be vectors of relapsing fever borreliosis in humans.

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

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.
