Lyme disease (Lyme borreliosis) is a tick-borne, zoonosis of adults and children caused by
genospecies of the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex. The ailment, widespread …

Background Borrelia miyamotoi clusters phylogenetically among relapsing fever borreliae,
but is transmitted by hard ticks. Recent recognition as a human pathogen has intensified …

The complement system is an ancient arm of the innate immune system that plays important
roles in pathogen recognition and elimination. Upon activation by microbes, complement …

Borrelial pathogens are vector-borne etiological agents known to cause Lyme disease,
relapsing fever, and Borrelia miyamotoi disease. These spirochetes each encode several …

Borrelia burgdorferi and Borrelia miyamotoi are tick-vectored zoonotic pathogens
maintained in wildlife species. Tick populations are establishing in new areas globally in …

Background: Borrelia species are divided into three groups depending on the induced
disease and the tick vector. Borrelia miyamotoi is a relapsing fever Borrelia but can induce …

Lyme disease, a zoonotic infection caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, is
transmitted to humans through the bites of infected ticks. Its diagnosis primarily relies on …

Borrelia miyamotoi is an emerging Ixodes tick-borne human pathogen in the Northern
hemisphere. The aim of the current study was to compare whole genome sequences of B …

Relapsing fever (RF) is claimed a neglected arthropod-borne disease caused by a number
of diverse human pathogenic Borrelia (B.) species. These RF borreliae are separated into …

Borrelia miyamotoi is an emerging tick-borne spirochete transmitted by ixodid ticks. Current
serologic assays for B. miyamotoi are impacted by genetic similarities to other Borrelia and …
