Initial symptoms and late complication in Lyme neuroborreliosis from the perspective of patients and relatives: a qualitative study

BMC Primary Care
Background Lyme borreliosis is by far the most common vector-borne infection in Western Europe. The most severe manifestation of Lyme borreliosis is Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB).

Rickettsiosis in Denmark: A nation-wide survey

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases, 2023
Rickettsia helvetica has been reported at varying prevalences in Danish and other European Ixodes ricinus populations. Though apparently widespread and with reported cases of human infection, the significance of the bacteria as a threat to public health ...

Role of immune cell subsets in the establishment of vector‐borne infections [PDF]

European Journal of Immunology, 2012
Many of the pathogens responsible for diseases that result in both economic and global health burdens are transmitted by arthropod vectors in the course of a blood meal. In the past, these vectors were viewed mainly as simple delivery vehicles but the appreciation of the role that factors in the saliva of vectors play during pathogen transmission is ...

Asymptotic analysis of a vector-borne disease model with the age of infection [PDF]

Journal of Biological Dynamics, 2020
Vector-borne infectious diseases may involve both horizontal transmission between hosts and transmission from infected vectors to susceptible hosts. In this paper, we incorporate these two transmission modes into a vector-borne disease model that includes general nonlinear incidence rates and the age of infection for both hosts and vectors. We show the

Aedes-borne viral infections and risk of emergence/resurgence in Sub-Saharan African urban areas

Journal of Biosafety and Biosecurity, 2020
The sub-Saharan African region is increasingly becoming urbanized with the creation of an urban ecology that is conducive to the emergence of vector-borne diseases, such as Aedes-borne viral infections. Aedes-borne viral infections pose a threat to urban

Seroprevalence and current infections of canine vector-borne diseases in Nicaragua [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Vector-borne diseases constitute a major problem for veterinary and public health, especially in tropical regions like Central America. Domestic dogs may be infected with several vector-borne pathogens of zoonotic relevance, which may also severely compromise canine health.To assess the prevalence of canine vector-borne diseases in Nicaragua, 329 dogs ...

Improved antibody breadth with an extended primary dose interval of COVID-19 vaccine is overcome by boosters

Frontiers in Immunology
IntroductionDuring rollout of mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines, several jurisdictions extended the interval between the first and second doses to prioritize wider population access to limited vaccine supply.

Molecular survey of vector-borne diseases in two groups of domestic dogs from Lisbon, Portugal

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Background Canine vector-borne diseases (CVBDs) are caused by a wide range of pathogens transmitted by arthropods. They have been an issue of growing importance in recent years; however, there is limited information about the vector-borne pathogens ...

The role of companion animals in the environmental circulation of tick-borne bacterial pathogens

Annals of Agricultural and Environmental Medicine, 2018
Ticks are known as vectors of a wide range of pathogens of medical and veterinary importance; some of them of zoonotic concern constitute a hazard for the emergence of tick-borne diseases shared between humans and domestic animals and becoming a part of ...
