Unprecedented genetic variability of PFam54 paralogs among Eurasian Lyme borreliosis‐causing spirochetes

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2024.
Utilizing whole genome sequencing data for 141 Eurasian distributed Borrelia isolates, we show that the PFam54 gene array is highly variable among and within Borrelia species, including the absence of genes of known function during infection. Further analysis highlighted though that understudied paralogs most likely are important to completing the ...

The role of P450 enzymes in malaria and other vector‐borne infectious diseases

BioFactors, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 16-32, January/February 2024.
We review published research data on P450 enzymes from all players in vector‐borne infections, that is, pathogens, vectors, and hosts, regarding the potential role of CYPs in disease. We discuss strategies on how to exploit cytochromes P450 in vector‐borne disease control.

Blocking pathogen transmission at the source: reservoir targeted OspA-based vaccines against Borrelia burgdorferi [PDF]

, 2014
Control strategies are especially challenging for microbial diseases caused by pathogens that persist in wildlife reservoirs and use arthropod vectors to cycle amongst those species. One of the most relevant illnesses that pose a direct human health risk

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.

[Antibacterial therapy as a means of preventing ixodid tick-borne borreliosis].

Meditsinskaia parazitologiia i parazitarnye bolezni, 1996
A special epidemiological experiment to prevent borreliosis in persons bitten by infected ticks was performed in 1992-1994 in the Russia's Perm region where Borrelia garinii and B.afzelii circulate, and Ixodes persulcatus tick is the sole vector transmitting these pathogens to human beings.
