Characterization of Borrelia Turicatae Transmission and Dissemination from the Arthropod Vector [PDF]
, 2014 Relapsing fever Borrelia are transmitted through saliva of argasid ticks. Given the 10 to 60 minute long bloodmeal, we characterized the rapidity of Borrelia turicatae transmission from their vector Ornithodoros turicata. Infection rates were compared in

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

Surface Localization Determinants of Borrelia OspC/Vsp Family Lipoproteins [PDF]
, 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.

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

Uptake and killing of Lyme disease and relapsing fever borreliae in the perfused rat liver and by isolated Kupffer cells [PDF]
, 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 ...
