Our study was aimed at analyzing data combining objective epidemiological, zoological and entomological research intended to determine the environmental and epidemiological patterns of tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) and Lyme borreliosis (LB) foci, as well as the role of anthropogenic factors in epidemic manifestations to improve anti-epidemic activities.

An Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Spot Assay Measuring Borrelia burgdorferi B31-Specific Interferon Gamma-Secreting T Cells Cannot Discriminate Active Lyme Neuroborreliosis from Past Lyme Borreliosis: a Prospective Study in the Netherlands. [PDF]
Two-tier serology testing is most frequently used for the diagnosis of Lyme borreliosis (LB); however, a positive result is no proof of active disease. To establish a diagnosis of active LB, better diagnostics are needed. Tests investigating the cellular

Application of Nanotrap technology for high sensitivity measurement of urinary outer surface protein A carboxyl-terminus domain in early stage Lyme borreliosis [PDF]
Objectives: Prompt antibiotic treatment of early stage Lyme borreliosis (LB) prevents progression to severe multisystem disease. There is a clinical need to improve the diagnostic specificity of early stage Lyme assays in the period prior to the mounting

The paradox of the binomial Ixodes ricinus activity and the observed unimodal Lyme borreliosis season in Hungary [PDF]
The change of ambient temperature plays a key role in determining the run of the annual Lyme season. Our aim was to explain the apparent contradiction between the annual unimodal Lyme borreliosis incidence and the bimodal Ixodes ricinus tick activity ...

Postinfectious syndrome of convalescentsixodes tick-borne borreliosis
The aim: to study the psycho-vegetative status of the quantitative contents of serotonin in blood platelets in patients after the Ixodes tick-borne borreliosis, to evaluate the clinical efficiency treatment by adamantilfenilamin of postinfection asthenia.Materials and methods: there was clinical supervision and inspection conducted of 118 convalescents

Preliminary Evaluation of Tick Protein Extracts and Recombinant Ferritin 2 as Anti-tick Vaccines Targeting Ixodes ricinus in Cattle [PDF]
Anti-tick vaccines have the potential to be an environmentally friendly and cost-effective option for tick control. In vaccine development, the identification of efficacious antigens forms the major bottleneck. In this study, the efficacy of immunization

Habitat properties are key drivers of Borrelia burgdorferi (s.l.) prevalence in Ixodes ricinus populations of deciduous forest fragments [PDF]
Background: The tick Ixodes ricinus has considerable impact on the health of humans and other terrestrial animals because it transmits several tick-borne pathogens (TBPs) such as B. burgdorferi (sensu lato), which causes Lyme borreliosis (LB).

[Tick-borne borreliosis in the Iaroslavl region].
The present paper characterizes a natural focus of tick-borne borreliosis in the Yaroslavl Region, analyzes the incidence of this infection in the Region, and thus concludes that the density of the population living in the areas of the natural foci of tick-borne borreliosis has a significant impact on its epidemic process.

Plasmodium falciparum malaria co-infection with tick-borne relapsing fever in Dakar [PDF]
Background West African tick-borne relapsing fever (TBRF) due to Borrelia crocidurae and malaria are co-endemics in Senegal. Although expected to be high, co-infections are rarely reported.

[Ixodes tick-borne borreliosis with erythema nodosum].
Ixodes tick-borne borrelioses (ITBB) is a group of natural-and-focal transmissible infections caused by Borrelia burgdorferi and characterized by multiple organ dysfunctions and a chronic progressive course. The pathognomonic marker of an acute period of the disease is migratory erythema at the site of tick suction.
