A sex-based analysis of complete blood count features during acute, untreated Lyme disease

Frontiers in Medicine
IntroductionAlthough lymphopenia has been described in acute Lyme disease (LD), the complete blood count (CBC) has not been comprehensively examined, nor have sex-based analyses been conducted. We analyzed CBC values and identified sex-based trends among

Pediatric Lyme Disease Biobank, United States, 2015–2020

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2020
In 2015, we founded Pedi Lyme Net, a pediatric Lyme disease research network comprising 8 emergency departments in the United States. Of 2,497 children evaluated at 1 of these sites for Lyme disease, 515 (20.6%) were infected.

Detection of Borrelia burgdorferi in historic tick samples and its relevance to the white-tailed deer population in New Hampshire [PDF]

, 2018
The cases of Lyme disease in New Hampshire have increased over time. There are speculations that increasing number of Lyme disease cases in New Hampshire are due to environmental factors, such as warmer climate, white-footed mouse population, white ...

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

Citizen science project on urban canids provides different results from camera traps but generates interest and revenue

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
As urbanization increases, wildlife increasingly encounters people. Coyotes Canis latrans and red foxes Vulpes vulpes are two canid species that have readily adapted to urban environments. Citizen science has emerged as a low‐cost method of collecting data on urban‐adapted species that can benefit management agencies but may provide different results ...

Land use gradients drive spatial variation in Lassa fever host communities in the Eastern Province of Sierra Leone

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
As West Africa urbanises, the risk of Lassa fever may paradoxically decrease. We found the invasive house mouse, a dominant urban species, outcompetes and displaces the primary Lassa virus host. Considering these species interactions is critical for accurately predicting future zoonotic disease patterns.

Evidence for the Presence of Borrelia burgdorferi Biofilm in Infected Mouse Heart Tissues

Microorganisms
Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterium responsible for Lyme disease, has been shown to form antimicrobial-tolerant biofilms, which protect it from unfavorable conditions.

Probable late lyme disease: a variant manifestation of untreated Borrelia burgdorferi infection

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2012
Background Lyme disease, a bacterial infection with the tick-borne spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi, can cause early and late manifestations. The category of probable Lyme disease was recently added to the CDC surveillance case definition to describe ...
