Growth, cysts and kinetics of Borrelia garinii (Spirochaetales: Spirochaetacea) in different culture media [PDF]
The aim of the present paper was to evaluate cyst formation and growth parameters of Borrelia garinii in a range of media differing in formulation and cost. A qualitative assessment of morphology and motility of B. garinii was conducted.

Prevalence Rates ofBorrelia burgdorferi(Spirochaetales: Spirochaetaceae),Anaplasma phagocytophilum(Rickettsiales: Anaplasmataceae), andBabesia microti(Piroplasmida: Babesiidae) in Host-SeekingIxodes scapularis(Acari: Ixodidae) from Pennsylvania [PDF]
AbstractThe etiological agents responsible for Lyme disease (Borrelia burgdorferi), human granulocytic anaplasmosis (Anaplasma phagocytophilum), and babesiosis (Babesia microti) are primarily transmitted by the blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularisSay. Despite Pennsylvania having in recent years reported the highest number of Lyme disease cases in the ...

High Prevalence of Borrelia mayonii (Spirochaetales: Spirochaetaceae) in Field-Caught Tamias striatus (Rodentia: Sciuridae) From Northern Wisconsin [PDF]
Abstract Borrelia mayonii is a recently discovered bacterial spirochete that causes Lyme disease and is transmitted by the blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis Say (Acari: Ixodidae). To date, B. mayonii has been isolated from two vertebrate host species in Minnesota: field-caught white-footed mice (Peromyscus leucopus Rafinesque; Rodentia:
