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

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

Comparative genomics identifies key adaptive traits of sponge-associated microbial symbionts.
Sponge microbiomes are often highly diverse making it difficult to determine which lineages are important for maintaining host health and homeostasis.

Microbiome Dynamics in Early Life Stages of the Precious Mediterranean Red Coral Corallium rubrum. [PDF]
The bacterial microbiota of the precious red coral Corallium rubrum matures after the first year of life. Specifically, the dominant symbionts of the adult colonies such as Spirochaetaceae were absent in larvae, settlers and recruits, suggesting that they were likely acquired horizontally from the environment between 6 months and 3 years of age ...

In Vitro Ruminal Metagenomic Profiles and Ruminal Fermentation Variables of Aromatic Plant Pulps. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Aromatic plant residues remaining after aromatic oil extraction represent a promising alternative feed source due to their rich bioactive compound content and fibrous structure. However, their fermentative behaviour and microbial degradability in the rumen require evaluation.

Comparative Analysis of Root Microbiomes of Rice Cultivars with High and Low Methane Emissions Reveals Differences in Abundance of Methanogenic Archaea and Putative Upstream Fermenters. [PDF]
Rice cultivation worldwide accounts for ∼7 to 17% of global methane emissions. Methane cycling in rice paddies is a microbial process not only involving methane producers (methanogens) and methane metabolizers (methanotrophs) but also other microbial ...
