Borrelia and Genital Lichen Sclerosus: A Critical Review of the Evidence
JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Lichen sclerosus (LSc) is a chronic inflammatory dermatosis that primarily affects the genitalia. Growing evidence supports chronic occlusive urine exposure as the principal pathogenic driver, though other mechanisms, including mechanical irritation, hormonal influences, autoimmunity, and infection, have been proposed.

, 2006 There are few habitats on earth in which spirochetes are such prominent members of the microbial community as in the hindgut of termites. This was first documented over a century ago by Joseph Leidy (Leidy, 1874-1881; Leidy, 1877), who was struck by

Typing African Relapsing Fever Spirochetes
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2005 Relapsing fever Borrelia spp. challenge microbiologic typing because they possess segmented genomes that maintain essential genes on large linear plasmids. Antigenic variation further complicates typing.

‘Reservoir dogs’: The emerging zoonotic risk associated with European dog imports to the UK
Veterinary Record, EarlyView.Abstract Background The movement of dogs from continental Europe to the UK poses a growing public health threat due to the associated risk of disease incursions. Current legislation is insufficient to address the risks and pre‐import control measures are focused only on rabies virus and the fox tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis. Methods We conducted
