Relapsing Fever Group Borreliae in Human-Biting Soft Ticks, Brazil
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2021 We conducted a molecular survey for Borrelia spp. in Ornithodoros ticks previously reported as biting humans. We collected specimens in natural ecosystems and inside human dwellings in 6 states in Brazil.

Postępy Mikrobiologii - Advancements of Microbiology, 2018 Abstract Relapsing fevers are considered, on the one hand, emerging or re-emerging diseases, and on the other hand, they still belong to neglected diseases which attract little attention of researchers and the public in developed countries. Genus Borrelia is divided into two large groups.

Borrelia recurrentis employs a novel multifunctional surface protein with anti-complement, anti-opsonic and invasive potential to escape innate immunity [PDF]
, 2009 Borrelia recurrentis, the etiologic agent of louse-borne relapsing fever in humans, has evolved strategies, including antigenic variation, to evade immune defence, thereby causing severe diseases with high mortality rates.

Development, validation and clinical usefulness of a prognostic model for relapse in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis [PDF]
Diagn Progn Res . 2021 Oct 27, 2021 Prognosis on the occurrence of relapses in individuals with Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS), the most common subtype of Multiple Sclerosis (MS), could support individualized decisions and disease management and could be helpful for efficiently selecting patients in future randomized clinical trials.

Tick-Born Relapsing Fever and Genespecies Diversity of Borrelia: Current Status
Эпидемиология и вакцинопрофилактика, 2022 Relevance. Tick-borne relapsing fevers caused by Borrelia species pathogenic for humans are not well understood. Aim of this review is to assess the genetic diversity of Borrelia with special attention to the relapsing fever group and phylogenetically ...

Lyme disease and relapsing fever in Mexico: An overview of human and wildlife infections
PLoS ONE, 2020 Lyme borreliosis and Relapsing fever are considered emerging and re-emerging diseases that cause major public health problems in endemic countries. Epidemiology and geographical distribution of these diseases are documented in the US and in Europe, yet ...

Pathogenesis of Relapsing Fever.
Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2020 Relapsing fever (RF) is caused by several species of Borrelia; all, except two species, are transmitted to humans by soft (argasid) ticks. The species B. recurrentis is transmitted from one human to another by the body louse, while B.

Upscaling the surveillance of tick-borne pathogens in the French Caribbean Islands [PDF]
, 2020 Despite the high burden of vector-borne disease in (sub)tropical areas, few information are available regarding the diversity of tick and tick-borne pathogens circulating in the Caribbean.

Multiple and Diverse vsp and vlp Sequences in Borrelia miyamotoi, a Hard Tick-Borne Zoonotic Pathogen. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Based on chromosome sequences, the human pathogen Borrelia miyamotoi phylogenetically clusters with species that cause relapsing fever. But atypically for relapsing fever agents, B. miyamotoi is transmitted not by soft ticks but by hard ticks, which also
