Risk Factors for Tick-Borne Diseases in Germany: A Scoping Review. [PDF]

Zoonoses Public Health
ABSTRACT Tick‐borne diseases (TBDs) have proliferated in Germany. The two most prevalent TBDs, Lyme‐borreliosis and tick‐borne encephalitis, can present with nonspecific symptoms and lead to serious neurological complications. To date, a review synthesising the risk factors of acquiring a TBD in Germany is missing.

Characterization of Anti-Phospholipid Antibodies in Lyme Borreliosis Using In-House Developed ELISAs [PDF]

Antibodies
Objectives: Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, a spirochete bacterium responsible for Lyme borreliosis—the most common tick-borne infection in North America and Europe—can trigger the production of antiphospholipid antibodies.

Citizen Science Tick Observations Serve as an Early Warning System for Tick-Borne Diseases. [PDF]

Zoonoses Public Health
ABSTRACT Introduction Tick observation data collected through citizen science is increasingly utilised to map tick‐borne infection risk areas indirectly, that is, based on the rate of tick encounters or occurrence of ticks. However, direct associations between tick observations and Lyme borreliosis (LB) cases have received little attention.

Risk factors for pregnancy-associated Bell's palsy: A nationwide population-based register study. [PDF]

Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand
The incidence of pregnancy‐associated Bell's palsy was 171.6 per 100 000 childbirths. Pregnancy‐associated Bell's palsy was associated with high BMI, being born in Asia, Africa, or South America, multiple pregnancy, diagnosis of herpes zoster, borreliosis, gestational diabetes, and preeclampsia.

Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato Employs Several Escape Mechanisms to Bypass the Human Defense System. [PDF]

Eur J Immunol
Integrated overview of host defense and immune evasion in Lyme Borreliosis. Bbsl evades immunity through tick saliva‐mediated suppression of innate defenses, TLR2/NOD2‐driven cytokine dysregulation, and interference with JAK/STAT and CIITA‐dependent antigen presentation.

Basophilic Response in Patients with Persistent Symptoms Attributed to Lyme Borreliosis Treated with Hydrolysed Arabinoxylan Rice Bran [PDF]

Medicina
Background and Objectives: MGN-3/Biobran (BRM4, Lentin Plus or Ribraxx) is a natural, rice bran-derived arabinoxylan immunoceutical that modulates the adaptive immune response to viral infections.

Borrelia Infections Under B Cell-Depleting Therapies: A Systematic Review of Diagnostic Challenges and Outcomes With Special Focus on Neurological Forms. [PDF]

Eur J Neurol
Neurological infections caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato and Borrelia miyamotoi are increasingly reported in patients receiving anti‐CD20 therapies and should be considered in cases presenting with neurological symptoms and cerebrospinal fluid pleocytosis.

Lyme borreliosis [PDF]

Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2016
Lyme borreliosis is a tick-borne disease that predominantly occurs in temperate regions of the northern hemisphere and is primarily caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi in North America and Borrelia afzelii or Borrelia garinii in Europe and Asia.

Diagnostic probability classification in suspected borreliosis by a novel Borrelia C6-peptide IgG1- subclass antibody test

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
The tick-borne multisystemic infection caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, Lyme borreliosis, or Lyme disease, occurring in temperate regions of the northern hemisphere, continues to spread geographically with the expanding tick population. Despite
