Reported County-Level Distribution of Lyme Disease Spirochetes,Borrelia burgdorferi sensu strictoandBorrelia mayonii(Spirochaetales: Spirochaetaceae), in Host-SeekingIxodes scapularisandIxodes pacificusTicks (Acari: Ixodidae) in the Contiguous United States [PDF]

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2021
AbstractLyme disease is the most common vector-borne disease in the United States. While Lyme disease vectors are widespread, high incidence states are concentrated in the Northeast, North Central and Mid-Atlantic regions. Mapping the distribution of Lyme disease spirochetes in ticks may aid in providing data-driven explanations of epidemiological ...

The prevalence ofBorrelia burgdorferi(Spirochaetales: Spirochaetaceae) and the Agent of Human Granulocytic Ehrlichiosis (Rickettsiaceae: Ehrlichieae) inIxodes scapularis(Acari:Ixodidae) Collected During 1998 and 1999 from Minnesota. : Table 1 [PDF]

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2002
We tested 103 adult Ixodes scapularis Say from 12 counties in Minnesota for the presence of Borrelia burgdorferi and the causative agent of human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE), using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). A total of 17 ticks (16.5%) was positive for B. burgdoiferi using nested PCR for the flagellin gene.

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]

Journal 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:

Experimental Demonstration of Reservoir Competence of the White-Footed Mouse, Peromyscus leucopus (Rodentia: Cricetidae), for the Lyme Disease Spirochete, Borrelia mayonii (Spirochaetales: Spirochaetaceae) [PDF]

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2019
Abstract The white-footed mouse, Peromyscus leucopus (Rafinesque), is a reservoir for the Lyme disease spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto in the eastern half of the United States, where the blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis Say (Acari: Ixodidae), is the primary vector.

Identification and characterization of 31 isolates of Borrelia burgdorferi (Spirochaetales, Spirochaetaceae) obtained from various hosts and vectors using PCR-RFLP and SDS-PAGE analysis [PDF]

Acta Parasitologica, 2008
AbstractBorrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, the etiologic agent of Lyme borreliosis, circulates between ticks and vertebrate hosts. Two main genospecies typically occur in the Czech Republic Borrelia garinii and Borrelia afzelii, transmitted generally by Ixodes ricinus (L., 1758) ticks. The aim of our study was to identify spirochaete isolates focusing on

Identifying suitable habitat forIxodes scapularis(Acari: Ixodidae) infected withAnaplasma phagocytophilum(Rickettsiales: Anaplasmataceae),Babesia microti(Piroplasmida: Babesiidae), andBorrelia miyamotoi(Spirochaetales: Spirochaetaceae) to guide surveillance efforts in the eastern United States [PDF]

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2023
AbstractUnderstanding the distribution of infected ticks is informative for the estimation of risk for tickborne diseases. The blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis (Acari: Ixodidae), is the primary vector for 7 medically significant pathogens in United States.

Spatiotemporal distribution of Borrelia miyamotoi (Spirochaetales: Spirochaetaceae) and coinfection with other tick-borne pathogens in host-seeking Ixodes scapularis (Acari: Ixodidae) from New York State, USA

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2023
Abstract Blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis Say, Acari: Ixodidae) were collected from 432 locations across New York State (NYS) during the summer and autumn of 2015–2020 to determine the prevalence and geographic distribution of Borrelia miyamotoi (Spirochaetales: Spirochaetaceae) and coinfections with other tick-borne pathogens.
