Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease, survives in nature through a cycle
that alternates between ticks and vertebrates. To facilitate this defined lifestyle, B. burgdorferi …

Borrelia burgdorferi, the agent of Lyme disease, is a vector-borne pathogen that transits
between Ixodes ticks and vertebrate hosts. During the natural infectious cycle, spirochetes …

Borrelia (Borreliella) burgdorferi, along with closely related species, is the etiologic agent of
Lyme disease. The spirochete subsists in an enzootic cycle that encompasses acquisition …

Borrelia burgdorferi, the Lyme disease spirochete, dramatically alters its transcriptome and
proteome as it cycles between the arthropod vector and mammalian host. During this …

The infectious cycle of Borrelia burgdorferi necessitates persistent infection of both
vertebrates and ticks, and efficient means of transmission between those two very different …

Borrelia burgdorferi, the spirochete that causes Lyme disease, is maintained in nature via an
enzootic cycle that comprises a tick vector and a vertebrate host. Transmission from the tick …

ABSTRACT The Lyme disease spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi, exists in two diverse niches
(ie, an arthropod tick vector and mammalian host) during its enzootic life cycle. To effectively …

Background Since the RpoN-RpoS regulatory network was revealed in the Lyme disease
spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi a decade ago, both upstream and downstream of the …

The Lyme disease spirochete persists in nature through cycles between ticks and
vertebrates. Although the spirochete interacts with numerous, distinct tissues and …

The alternative sigma factor RpoS plays a key role modulating gene expression in Borrelia
burgdorferi, the Lyme disease spirochete, by transcribing mammalian host-phase genes and …
