Borrelia burgdorferi (Spirochaetales: Spirochaetaceae) Infection Prevalence and Host Associations of Ticks Found on Peromyscus spp. in Maryland

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2021
Abstract Lyme disease, caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto and most commonly transmitted by Ixodes scapularis Say (Ixodida: Ixodidae), is the most common tick-borne disease in Maryland. Because B. burgdorferi s.s. is maintained in enzootic cycles among wild mice (Peromyscus spp) and Ixodes spp ticks, differing patterns of ...

An Update of Knowledge of the Bacterial Assemblages Associated with the Mexican Caribbean Corals Acropora palmata, Orbicella faveolata, and Porites porites

Diversity, 2023
In this study, the bacterial microbiota associated with apparently healthy corals of Acropora palmata, Orbicella faveolata, and Porites porites and the surrounding seawater and sediment were evaluated via the MiSeq Illumina sequencing of the V4 region of

Acquisition of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto (Spirochaetales: Spirochaetaceae) by Haemaphysalis longicornis (Acari: Ixodidae) nymphs during interrupted feeding. [PDF]

J Med Entomol
Abstract A previous laboratory study using Haemaphysalis longicornis Neumann (Acari: Ixodidae) ticks of North American origin showed that larvae could acquire the Lyme disease spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto (s.s.) (Spirochaetales: Spirochaetaceae) while feeding to completion on infected mice.

Combined Stochastic and Deterministic Processes Drive Community Assembly of Anaerobic Microbiomes During Granule Flotation

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Advances in null-model approaches have resulted in a deeper understanding of community assembly mechanisms for a variety of complex microbiomes. One under-explored application is assembly of communities from the built-environment, especially during ...

Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes Drive Differing Microbial Diversity and Community Composition Among Micro-Environments in the Bovine Rumen

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
Ruminants are a critical human food source and have been implicated as a potentially important source of global methane emissions. Because of their unique digestive physiology, ruminants rely upon a symbiotic relationship with the complex and rich ...

Presence ofBorrelia burgdorferi(Spirochaetales: Spirochaetaceae) in Southern Kettle Moraine State Forest, Wisconsin, and Characterization of Strain W97F51 [PDF]

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2005
Lyme disease, caused by Borrelia burgdorferi Johnson, Schmidt, Hyde, Steigerwalt & Brenner; babesiosis, caused by Babesia microti Franca; and human granulocytic ehrlichiosis, caused by Anaplasma phagocytophilum Bakken & Dumler have been reported in Wisconsin, mainly in the endemic areas of the northwestern part of the state.

Molecular characterization of ‘Candidatus Borrelia tachyglossi’ (family Spirochaetaceae) in echidna ticks, Bothriocroton concolor

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2017
Recently, a novel species of the genusBorreliawas identified inBothriocroton concolorandIxodes holocyclusticks from echidnas. Analyses of 16S rRNA andflaBgenes identified three closely related genotypes of this bacterium (Borreliasp. Aus A-C) that were unique and distinct from previously described borreliae.

A Phylogenomic and Molecular Signature Based Approach for Characterization of the Phylum Spirochaetes and its Major Clades: Proposal for a Taxonomic Revision of the Phylum

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013
The Spirochaetes species cause many important diseases including syphilis and Lyme disease. Except for their containing a distinctive endoflagella, no other molecular or biochemical characteristics are presently known that are specific for either all ...
