Novel Relapsing Fever Spirochete in Bat Tick [PDF]

, 2008
Tick-borne relapsing fever in western North America is a zoonosis caused by spirochetes in the genus Borrelia that are transmitted by argasid ticks of the genus Ornithodoros (1).

Arthritis severity and spirochete burden are determined by serotype in the Borrelia turicatae-mouse model of Lyme disease [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1997
Immunodeficient mice infected with Borrelia turicatae, a relapsing fever agent, have a disorder that resembles disseminated Lyme disease. Two serotypes, A and B, differed in their arthritogenicity in both CB-17 SCID and C3H SCID mice. In CB-17 SCID mice infected with serotype A or B, arthritis was assessed by measurement of tibiotarsal diameter ...

Isolation and Genetic Characterization of the Human Relapsing Fever Spirochete Borrelia persica from a Dog with Improved Cultivation Techniques

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
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.

High Production of CXCL13 in Blood and Brain During Persistent Infection With the Relapsing Fever Spirochete Borrelia turicatae [PDF]

Journal of Neuropathology and Experimental Neurology, 2007
Relapsing fever (RF) is a multisystemic borrelial infection with frequent neurologic involvement referred to as neuroborreliosis. The absence of an effective antibody response results in persistent infection. To study the consequences to the brain of persistent infection with the RF spirochete Borrelia turicatae, we studied B cell (Igh6-/-) and B and T

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

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.

Characterization of VspB of Borrelia turicatae , a Major Outer Membrane Protein Expressed in Blood and Tissues of Mice [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1999
ABSTRACT Serotypes A and B of the relapsing fever spirochete Borrelia turicatae produce different disease manifestations in infected mice. Whereas serotype B causes more severe arthritis and reaches higher densities in the blood of mice than serotype A, serotype A invades the central nervous system earlier

Detection of B. turicatae and rGlpQ by western blot.

, 2019
The patient’s serum sample was used for immunoblotting using B. turicatae (B. tur) protein lysate, purified rGlpQ, and rBipA (A). A patient’s serum sample without a clinical history of relapsing fever or contact with the vector was used as a negative ...

Interaction of variable bacterial outer membrane lipoproteins with brain endothelium.

PLoS ONE, 2010
BackgroundPreviously we reported that the variable outer membrane lipoprotein Vsp1 from the relapsing fever spirochete Borrelia turicatae disseminates from blood to brain better than the closely related Vsp2 [1].

The Borrelia afzelii outer membrane protein BAPKO_0422 binds human Factor-H and is predicted to form a membrane-spanning beta-barrel [PDF]

, 2015
The deep evolutionary history of the Spirochetes places their branch point early in the evolution of the diderms, before the divergence of the present day Proteobacteria.
