Amblyomma americanum (Acari: Ixodidae) Ticks Are Not Vectors of the Lyme Disease Agent, Borrelia burgdorferi (Spirocheatales: Spirochaetaceae): A Review of the Evidence [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Medical Entomology, 2018
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 human-biting tick species were investigated as potential B. burgdorferi vectors.

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.

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.

Isolation of Borrelia burgdorferi (Spirochaetales: Spirochaetaceae) from Ixodes scapularis and Dermacentor albipictus Ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) in Oklahoma

Journal of Medical Entomology, 1992
Borrelia burgdorferi was isolated from Ixodes scapularis Say and Dermacentor albipictus Packard that were removed as partially fed adults from white-tailed deer, Odocoileus virginianus Zimmermann, in Oklahoma. Isolation in media was accomplished only after homogenates of pooled field-collected ticks were inoculated into laboratory-reared Peromyscus ...

Reservoir Role of LizardPsammodromus algirusin Transmission Cycle ofBorrelia burgdorferiSensu Lato (Spirochaetaceae) in Tunisia

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2006
To investigate the reservoir role of the lizard Psammodromus algirus for the Lyme disease spirochete, 199 lizards were trapped from April to October 2003 in El Jouza, northwestern Tunisia. In this site, the infection rate of free-living Ixodes ricinus (L.) by Borrelia was evaluated by immunofluorescence as 34.6% for adult ticks and 12.5% for nymphs ...

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.

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.

Adhesion to and Invasion of Cultured Tick (Acarina: Ixodidae) Cells by Borrelia burgdorferi (Spirochaetales: Spirochaetaceae) and Maintenance of Infectivity

Journal of Medical Entomology, 1993
Lyme disease spirochetes, Borrelia burgdorferi, interact with cultured tick cells in ways similar to those reported to occur in the vector Ixodes dammini Spielman, Clifford, Piesman & Corwin. Spirochete adhesion and penetration were examined using a cell line from embryos of Rhipicephalus appendiculatus Neumann that morphologically resembles tick gut ...

Ixodes scapularis (Acari: Ixodidae) Reservoir Host Diversity and Abundance Impacts on Dilution of Borrelia burgdorferi (Spirochaetales: Spirochaetaceae) in Residential and Woodland Habitats in Connecticut, United States [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Medical Entomology, 2018
The dilution effect in the zoonotic disease transmission cycle theorizes that an increased diversity of host species will alter transmission dynamics, result in a decrease in pathogen prevalence, and potentially lower human disease incidence. The interrelationship of Borrelia burgdorferi (Johnson, Schmid, Hyde, Steigerwalt, and Brenner) (Spirochaetales:
