Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease (along with closely related
genospecies), is in the deeply branching spirochete phylum. The bacterium is maintained in …

Borrelia burgdorferi, the spirochetal agent of Lyme disease, is a zoonotic pathogen that is
maintained in a natural cycle that typically involves mammalian reservoir hosts and a tick …

We outline in this review how Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease,
moves from the tick to the vertebrate host, and what molecules are potentially involved in this …

Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease, cycles in nature between a
vertebrate host and a tick vector. We demonstrate that B. burgdorferi can utilize several …

In little more than 30 years, Lyme disease, which is caused by the spirochaete Borrelia
burgdorferi, has risen from relative obscurity to become a global public health problem and a …

Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato is the causative agent of Lyme disease, which afflicts both
humans and some domestic animals. B. burgdorferi, a highly evolved extracellular …

The bacterial pathogen Borrelia burgdorferi is the causative agent of Lyme disease and is
transmitted to humans through an Ixodes tick vector. B. burgdorferi is able to survive in both …

Borrelia burgdorferi is the causative agent of Lyme disease and is transmitted to vertebrate
hosts by Ixodes spp. ticks. The spirochaete relies heavily on its arthropod host for basic …

Infection with Borrelia burgdorferi often triggers pathophysiologic perturbations that are
further augmented by the inflammatory responses of the host, resulting in the severe clinical …

ABSTRACT The Lyme disease spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi, persists in nature by
alternatingly cycling between ticks and vertebrates. During each stage of the infectious …
