Development and application of the technique for identification of Borrelia miyamotoi surface antigens

Журнал микробиологии, эпидемиологии и иммунобиологии, 2021
Introduction. Borrelia miyamotoi is a pathogen causing erythema-free ixodid tick-borne borreliosis (ITBB), a disease widespread in Russia. The genome of B. miyamotoi contains genes of multiple variable major proteins (Vmps). Vmps fall into two families —

Threat of attacks of Ixodes ricinus ticks (Ixodida: Ixodidae) and Lyme borreliosis within urban heat islands in south-western Poland [PDF]

, 2014
BACKGROUND: The increased incidence of Lyme disease in Europe necessitates permanent monitoring of the occurrence and activity of its vector. Therefore, in this study, we have investigated the presence and seasonal activity of Ixodes ricinus ticks in ...

Tick‐borne relapsing fever as a potential veterinary medical problem

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 271-279, November 2018., 2018
Tick‐Borne Relapsing Fever is emerging as an important veterinary medical problem. Abstract Tick‐borne relapsing fever (TBRF) caused by the bacteria Borrelia, is poorly documented in veterinary medicine. Given the widespread presence of the soft tick vectors – Ornithodoros and the recently discovered hard tick vectors, as well as their close ...

Ticks infesting domestic dogs in the UK:a large-scale surveillance programme [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Recent changes in the distribution of tick vectors and the incidence of tick-borne disease, driven variously by factors such as climate change, habitat modification, increasing host abundance and the increased movement of people and animals ...

Utility of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto C6 Peptide for Serologic Confirmation of Erythema‐Free Ixodid Tick‐Borne Borrelioses in Russia

BioMed Research International, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
We evaluated the utility of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto (Bb) peptide C6 for serologic confirmation of Ixodid Tick‐Borne Borrelioses (ITBB) in Russia. Serum samples (N = 1089) were from erythema migrans (EM) (N = 327) and the EM‐free (EMF) patients (N = 115); in some patients, the disease was accompanied by human granulocytic anaplasmosis or tick‐

Variable strength of forest stand attributes and weather conditions on the questing activity of Ixodes ricinus ticks over years in managed forests [PDF]

, 2013
Given the ever-increasing human impact through land use and climate change on the environment, we crucially need to achieve a better understanding of those factors that influence the questing activity of ixodid ticks, a major disease-transmitting vector ...

Soluble cysteine‐rich tick saliva proteins Salp15 and Iric‐1 fromE. coli

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 42-55, January 01, 2015., 2015
Tick saliva proteins Salp15 and Iric‐1 promote tick feeding and pathogen transmission. We established the first bacterial expression system for soluble Salp15 and Iric‐1. Using this system we mapped monoclonal antibody epitopes on Salp15 and Iric‐1. We defined the interaction sites with Borrelia outer surface protein C (OspC).

Eco-epidemiology of Borrelia miyamotoi and Lyme borreliosis spirochetes in a popular hunting and recreational forest area in Hungary [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: Borrelia miyamotoi, the newly discovered human pathogenic relapsing fever spirochete, and Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato are maintained in natural rodent populations. The aim of this study was to investigate the natural cycle of B. miyamotoi

Evaluating Frequency, Diagnostic Quality, and Cost of Lyme Borreliosis Testing in Germany: A Retrospective Model Analysis

Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Background. Data on the economic impact of Lyme borreliosis (LB) on European health care systems is scarce. This project focused on the epidemiology and costs for laboratory testing in LB patients in Germany. Materials and Methods. We performed a sentinel analysis of epidemiological and medicoeconomic data for 2007 and 2008.
