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 …

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

Borrelia burgdorferi, a pathogen transmitted by Ixodes ticks, is responsible for a prevalent
illness known as Lyme disease, and a vaccine for human use is unavailable. Recently …

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 …

Abstract The Lyme disease agent, Borrelia burgdorferi, colonizes the gut of the tick Ixodes
scapularis, which transmits the pathogen to vertebrate hosts including humans. Here we …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Human pathogenic spirochetes causing Lyme disease belong to the Borrelia burgdorferi
sensu lato complex. Borrelia burgdorferi organisms are extracellular pathogens transmitted …

Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (sl), the tick-borne agent of Lyme borreliosis, is a bacterial
species complex comprising 11 genospecies. Here, we discuss whether the delineation of …
