Background Lyme borreliosis is the most common tick-borne human disease and is caused
by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (sl.). Borrelia miyamotoi, a relapsing fever spirochaete, is …

The field and laboratory evidence incriminating nymphal Ixodes dammini as the main
vectors of Borrelia burgdorferi is substantial. Furthermore, other members of the Ixodes …

Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (sl), the agent of Lyme disease, is transmitted to the host
during the blood meal of Ixodes ticks. In most unfed ticks, spirochetes are present in the …

An increasing number of studies suggest that vector-borne parasites are able to alter
phenotypic traits in their arthropod vectors so that microorganism transmission is enhanced …

Borrelia burgdorferi, the spirochetal agent of Lyme borreliosis, is predominantly transmitted
by Ixodes ticks. Spirochetes have developed many strategies to adapt to the different …

We compared the intrinsic vector competence of Ixodes dammini Spielman et al.,
Dermacentor variabilis (Say), and Amblyomma americanum (L.) for the Lyme disease …
