Phylogram of the intergenic spacer sequences from Borrelia turicatae.
, 2021 Sequences were obtained from infected canines (*), a human (•), and all others B. turicatae IGS sequences originated from infected ticks. The phylogenetic tree was generated with 1,000 bootstrap replicates. The scale bar for branch lengths represents the

Characterization of Borrelia Turicatae Transmission and Dissemination from the Arthropod Vector
, 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

Contribution of the infection-associated complement regulator-acquiring surface protein 4 (ErpC) to complement resistance of Borrelia burgdorferi [PDF]
, 2012 Borrelia burgdorferi evades complement-mediated killing by interacting with complement regulators through distinct complement regulator-acquiring surface proteins (CRASPs).

Phylogenetic Analysis of a Virulent Borrelia Species Isolated from Patients with Relapsing Fever
, 2010 Multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) was used to clarify the taxonomic status of a virulent Borrelia organism previously isolated from patients with relapsing fever and from ticks in Spain that is designated the Spanish relapsing fever (SRF) Borrelia ...

First detection of Borrelia and Rickettsia species from Ornithodoros ticks in the Republic of Korea
, 2021 Ticks are considered important vectors among arthropods and are linked to serious medical and veterinary health problems. In this study, we investigated tick-borne pathogens (TBPs) of Ornithodoros (Carios) sawaii and a newly identified Ornithodoros ...

Identification and Structural Characterisation of Novel Outer Membrane Proteins in the genus Borrelia [PDF]
Although considered Gram-negative the outer membrane (OM) of Borrelia is unique, consisting of a variety of glycolipids, a significant number of surface exposed lipoproteins and a smaller number of integral membrane-spanning β-barrels.

Borrelia valaisiana resist complement-mediated killing independently of the recruitment of immune regulators and inactivation of complement components [PDF]
, 2013 Spirochetes belonging to the Borrelia (B.) burgdorferi sensu lato complex differ in their resistance to complement-mediated killing, particularly in regard to human serum.

Structural characterisation of outer membrane proteins from Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato by small-angle X-ray scattering [PDF]
, 2016 Forming the interface between the bacterial cell and the host, the outer membrane of Borrelia is known to play a key role in pathogenicity. Although Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato are considered to be Gram-negative, their outer membrane is unique ...
