13. Estudo de Borrelia spp. no Brasil / Study of Borrelia spp. in Brazil
A doença de Lyme é uma doença causada pelas bactérias do complexo Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato que são transmitidas por carrapatos do complexo Ixodes ricinus. A distribuição geográfica dessas bactérias é confirmada no Hemisfério Norte (America do Norte, Europa e Ásia). Suspeita-se que uma enfermidade, compatível com doença de Lyme no Brasil,

14. Borrelioses, agentes e vetores
As borrelioses são enfermidades infecciosas determinadas por espiroquetas do gênero Borrelia, agentes transmissíveis, principalmente, por carrapatos aos animais e/ou ao homem. Nesta revisão são apresentadas e discutidas as enfermidades determinadas por borrélias, bem como as características gerais das espiroquetas, os aspectos relacionados a transmiss

15. A Surface-Exposed Region of a Novel Outer Membrane Protein (P66) of Borrelia spp. Is Variable in Size and Sequence
A model of the 66-kDa outer membrane protein (P66) of Lyme disease Borrelia spp. predicts a surface-exposed loop near the C terminus. This region contains an antigen commonly recognized by sera from Lyme disease patients. In the present study, this region of P66 and homologous proteins of other Borrelia spp. were further investigated by using monoclonal anti

16. Common Ancestry of Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Lato Strains from North America and Europe
Ten atypical European Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (Borrelia spp.) strains were genetically characterized, and the diversity was compared to that encountered among related Borrelia spp. from North America. Phylogenetic analyses of a limited region of the genome and of the whole genome extend existing knowledge about borrelial diversity reported earlier in

17. Prevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi, Bartonella spp., Babesia microti, and Anaplasma phagocytophila in Ixodes scapularis Ticks Collected in Northern New Jersey
PCR analysis of Ixodes scapularis ticks collected in New Jersey identified infections with Borrelia burgdorferi (33.6%), Babesia microti (8.4%), Anaplasma phagocytophila (1.9%), and Bartonella spp. (34.5%). The I. scapularis tick is a potential pathogen vector that can cause coinfection and contribute to the variety of clinical responses noted in some tick-b

18. Borrelia Isolates in Northern Colorado Identified as Borrelia bissettii
Previous work described Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato group DN127 as a new genospecies, Borrelia bissettii, and prompted the present study to identify the Borrelia spp. that exist in northern Colorado. To determine the genospecies present, we analyzed two specific intergenic spacer regions located between the 5S and 23S and the 16S and 23S ribosomal genes.

19. The cryptic ospC gene of Borrelia burgdorferi B31 is located on a circular plasmid.
Borrelia burgdorferi B31 cells lacking all linear plasmids or all but the 49-kb linear plasmid expressed the otherwise silent gene for the outer membrane protein OspC. In the first demonstration of a function for a circular plasmid of Borrelia spp., ospC was located on a 27-kb circular plasmid of B31.

20. Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Lato and Ehrlichia spp. in Ixodes Ticks from Southern Norway
We report the results of a study of the prevalence of Ehrlichia and Borrelia species in 341 questing Ixodes ricinus ticks from two locations in southern Norway. The prevalences of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato and Ehrlichia spp. were, respectively, 16 and 11.5% at site 1 and 17 and 6% at site 2. Prevalence and species composition of Borrelia and Ehrlichia

21. Identification of Ehrlichia spp. and Borrelia burgdorferi in Ixodes Ticks in the Baltic Regions of Russia
The presence and distribution of Ehrlichia spp. and Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato was demonstrated among ixodid ticks collected in the Baltic regions of Russia, where Lyme borreliosis is endemic. A total of 3,426 Ixodes ricinus and 1,267 Ixodes persulcatus specimens were collected, and dark-field microscopy showed that 265 (11.5%) I. ricinus and 333 (26.3%

22. Involvement of birds in the epidemiology of the Lyme disease agent Borrelia burgdorferi.
Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease, was isolated from the liver of a passerine bird, Catharus fuscescens (veery), and from larval Ixodes dammini (tick) feeding on Pheucticus ludovicianus (rose-breasted grosbeak) and Geothlypis trichas (common yellowthroat). In indirect immunofluorescence antibody tests, isolates reacted with polyclonal

23. Variable serum immunoglobulin responses against different Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato species in a population at risk for and patients with Lyme disease.
Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato species display considerable antigenic polymorphism. In order to evaluate the importance of this antigenic heterogeneity in the serodiagnosis of Lyme disease, the serum immunoglobulin G response in 148 healthy individuals from an area in northern Sweden where Lyme disease is endemic and in 40 American patients with Lyme diseas

24. Genetic Variability within Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Lato Genospecies Established by PCR-Single-Strand Conformation Polymorphism Analysis of the rrfA-rrlB Intergenic Spacer in Ixodes ricinus Ticks from the Czech Republic
In Europe the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex is represented by five distinct genospecies: Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, Borrelia afzelii, Borrelia garinii, Borrelia valaisiana, and Borrelia lusitaniae. These taxonomic entities are known to differ in their specific associations with vertebrate hosts and to provoke distinct clinical manifestatio
