Differential Risk for Lyme Disease along Hiking Trail, Germany

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2011
To estimate relative risk for exposure to ticks infected with Lyme disease–causing spirochetes in different land-use types along a trail in Germany, we compared tick density and spirochete prevalence on ruminant pasture with that on meadow and fallow ...

Phylogenetic analysis of the spirochetes [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 1991
The 16S rRNA sequences were determined for species of Spirochaeta, Treponema, Borrelia, Leptospira, Leptonema, and Serpula, using a modified Sanger method of direct RNA sequencing. Analysis of aligned 16S rRNA sequences indicated that the spirochetes form a coherent taxon composed of six major clusters or groups. The first group, termed the treponemes,

Detection of Ring Structure and Its Flexibility in Periplasmic Region of FliL, Bacterial Flagellar Stator‐Associate Protein, in Marine Vibrio

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
FliL, a single‐pass transmembrane flagellar protein with a large periplasmic domain, associates with the basal body and supports motor function under high‐load conditions (e.g., viscous environments). The periplasmic domain of deletion mutant FliL forms a flexible ring structure, likely reflecting the capacity of the full‐length protein to adaptively ...

FcpB Is a Surface Filament Protein of the Endoflagellum Required for the Motility of the Spirochete Leptospira

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2018
The spirochete endoflagellum is a unique motility apparatus among bacteria. Despite its critical importance for pathogenesis, the full composition of the flagellum remains to be determined. We have recently reported that FcpA is a novel flagellar protein

Fipronil prevents transmission of Lyme disease spirochetes

Parasitology
Lyme disease, a tick-borne illness caused by Borrelia spirochetes, poses a significant threat to public health. While acaricides effectively control ticks on pets and livestock, their impact on pathogen transmission is often unclear.

Visualization of Spirochetes by Labeling Membrane Proteins With Fluorescent Biarsenical Dyes

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2019
Numerous methods exist for fluorescently labeling proteins either as direct fusion proteins (GFP, RFP, YFP, etc.—attached to the protein of interest) or utilizing accessory proteins to produce fluorescence (SNAP-tag, CLIP-tag), but the significant ...

Etiology, pathogenesis and treatment of peri‐implantitis: A European perspective

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Peri‐implantitis is a plaque‐associated pathological condition occurring in tissues around dental implants. It is characterized by inflammation in the peri‐implant mucosa and progressive loss of supporting bone. Over the last 30 years, peri‐implantitis has become a major disease burden in dentistry.
