First report on bacteria of the family Spirochaetaceae from digestive tract of endemic gastropods from Lake Baikal

Microbiology, 2012
Detection of bacteria of the family Spirochaetaceae in the crystalline style of 11 species of endemic gastropods from Lake Baikal is reported. Investigation by transmission and scanning electron microscopy showed that these spirochetes belonged to the genus Cristispira.

Long-Term Effects of Berberis thunbergii (Ranunculales: Berberidaceae) Management on Ixodes scapularis (Acari: Ixodidae) Abundance and Borrelia burgdorferi (Spirochaetales: Spirochaetaceae) Prevalence in Connecticut, USA

Environmental Entomology, 2017
Japanese barberry (Berberis thunbergii de Candolle; Ranunculales: Berberidaceae) is an exotic invasive shrub that escaped cultivation in the United States and is now permanently established in many eastern and midwestern states. This study examined the long-term impacts of Japanese barberry management on blacklegged tick (Ixodes scapularis Say; Acari ...

Prevalence of Borrelia (Spirochaetaceae) Spirochetes in Texas Ticks

Journal of Medical Entomology, 1994
Between 1990 and 1992, ticks from eight Texas parks were collected and analyzed to determine the prevalence of spirochete-infected ticks. Borrelia spirochetes were detected in 1.03% of 5,141 Amblyomma americanum (L.) adults examined, a species Texas residents often encounter. No spirochetes were observed in the other tick species tested.

The Phylum Spirochaetaceae

, 2014
Spirochaetaceae is a family of spirochetes that cause syphilis, Lyme disease, epidemic and endemic relapsing fever, leptospirosis, swine dysentery, and periodontal disease. The spirochetes are presently classified as members of class Spirochaetes in the order Spirochaetales and are divided into three major phylogenetic groupings or families.

Competence of Peromyscus maniculatus (Rodentia: Cricetidae) as a Reservoir Host for Borrelia burgdorferi (Spirochaetares: Spirochaetaceae) in the Wild

Journal of Medical Entomology, 1993
Although capable of maintaining and transmitting Borrelia burgdorferi Johnson, Schmidt, Hyde, Steigerwalt & Brenner, the causative spirochete of Lyme disease, in the laboratory, the specific ability of deer mice, Peromyscus maniculatus Le Conte, to support this zoonosis has not been established. Demonstration that P.
