Ethiology and Immunopathogenesis Peculiarities of Ixodic Tick-Borne Borreliosis

Problems of Particularly Dangerous Infections, 2009
The characteristics of tick-borne borreliosis agents and borrelia reservoir hosts and vectors are presented in the article. Considered is participation of ticks' saliva components and superficial spirochete antigens in the mechanisms of mammals infectioning with borrelia. Immunopathogenesis of tick-borne borreliosis is described.
