The shifting landscape of tick-borne zoonoses: tick-borne encephalitis and Lyme borreliosis in Europe [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2001
The two major vector-borne diseases of northern temperate regions, tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) and Lyme borreliosis (LB), show very different epidemiological patterns, but both have increased significantly in incidence since the 1980s. Insight into the temporal dynamics of TBE, gained from statistical analysis of spatial patterns integrated with ...

The Emerging Role of Microbial Biofilm in Lyme Neuroborreliosis [PDF]

, 2018
Lyme borreliosis (LB) is the most common tick-borne disease caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi in North America and Borrelia afzelii or Borrelia garinii in Europe and Asia, respectively.

Spatial and temporal distribution patterns of tick-borne diseases (Tick-borne Encephalitis and Lyme Borreliosis) in Germany

PeerJ, 2021
Background In the face of ongoing climate warming, vector-borne diseases are expected to increase in Europe, including tick-borne diseases (TBD). The most abundant tick-borne diseases in Germany are Tick-Borne Encephalitis (TBE) and Lyme Borreliosis (LB), with Ixodes ...

Using volunteered observations to map human exposure to ticks. [PDF]

, 2018
Lyme borreliosis (LB) is the most prevalent tick-borne disease in Europe and its incidence has steadily increased over the last two decades. In the Netherlands alone, more than 20,000 citizens are affected by LB each year.

Ability to cause erythema migrans differs between Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato isolates [PDF]

, 2013
Background: Lyme borreliosis is a tick-borne disease caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. The variety of characteristic and non-specific clinical manifestations is partially explained by its genetic diversity.

Borrelia burgdorferi Manipulates Innate and Adaptive Immunity to Establish Persistence in Rodent Reservoir Hosts. [PDF]

, 2017
Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato species complex is capable of establishing persistent infections in a wide variety of species, particularly rodents. Infection is asymptomatic or mild in most reservoir host species, indicating successful co-evolution of ...

Can interventions that aim to decrease Lyme disease hazard at non-domestic sites be effective without negatively affecting ecosystem health? A systematic review protocol [PDF]

, 2016
Background Lyme disease (LD) is the most commonly reported, broadly distributed vector-borne disease of the northern temperate zone. It is transmitted by ticks and, if untreated, can cause skin, cardiac, nervous system and musculoskeletal disease.

Seabirds and the circulation of Lyme borreliosis bacteria in the North Pacific [PDF]

, 2015
Seabirds act as natural reservoirs to Lyme borreliosis spirochetes and may play a significant role in the global circulation of these pathogens. While Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (Bbsl) has been shown to occur in ticks collected from certain ...

Gene-specific features of tick-borne borreliosis in Russia

Fundamental and Clinical Medicine, 2021
Aim. To study the gene-specific composition of Borrelia spp. in ixodid ticks inhabiting the foci of ixodid tick-borne borreliosis (ITBB) in the south of Western Siberia.Materials and Methods. The gene-specific composition of Borrelia spp. in ixodid ticks was determined by inoculation on a BSK-H nutrient medium, real-time polymerase chain reaction, and ...

Melting pot of tick-borne zoonoses : the European hedgehog contributes to the maintenance of various tick-borne diseases in natural cycles urban and suburban areas [PDF]

, 2017
Background: European hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus) are urban dwellers and host both Ixodes ricinus and Ixodes hexagonus. These ticks transmit several zoonotic pathogens like Borrelia burgdorferi (sensu lato), Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Rickettsia ...
