In the early 1980s, Ixodes spp. ticks were implicated as the key North American vectors of Borrelia burgdorferi (Johnson, Schmid, Hyde, Steigerwalt and Brenner) (Spirocheatales: Spirochaetaceae), the etiological agent of Lyme disease. Concurrently, other

Detection of Genetic Variability in Borrelia miyamotoi (Spirochaetales: Spirochaetaceae) Between and Within the Eastern and Western United States [PDF]

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2021
Abstract Borrelia miyamotoi is a hard tick-associated relapsing fever spirochete that is geographically widespread in Ixodes spp. (Acari: Ixodidae) ticks, but typically occurs at low prevalence. Genetic variability has been described among strains derived from Asia, Europe, and North America, and among tick species that carry the ...

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.

Coinfection ofIxodes scapularis(Acari: Ixodidae) Nymphs WithBabesiaspp. (Piroplasmida: Babesiidae) andBorrelia burgdorferi(Spirochaetales: Spirochaetaceae) in Wisconsin

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2021
AbstractBorrelia burgdorferi, the spirochete that causes Lyme disease, is endemic and widespread in Wisconsin. Research in the northeastern United States has revealed a positive association between Babesia microti, the main pathogen that causes babesiosis in humans, and Bo. burgdorferi in humans and in ticks.

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.

Ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) and Spirochetes (Spirochaetaceae: Spirochaetales) Recovered from Birds on a Georgia Barrier Island

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2001
From September 1997 through July 1999, 300 individuals and 46 species of birds were mist-netted and screened for ticks and spirochetes on St. Catherine's Island, Liberty County, GA. Seventy-six (25%) of the birds were parasitized by a meal intensity of 4.6 ticks.

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 ...

Lyme Disease Risk of Exposure to Blacklegged Ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) Infected with Borrelia burgdorferi (Spirochaetales: Spirochaetaceae) in Pittsburgh Regional Parks

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2019
AbstractLyme disease is the most commonly reported vector-borne illness and sixth most commonly reported notifiable infectious disease in the United States. The majority of cases occur in the Northeast and upper-Midwest, and the number and geographic distribution of cases is steadily increasing.
