Modern infectious disease outbreaks often involve changes in host tropism, the preferential
adaptation of pathogens to specific hosts. The Lyme disease-causing bacterium Borrelia …

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

Emerging and re‐emerging pathogens often stem from zoonotic origins, cycling between
humans and animals, and are frequently vectored and maintained by hematophagous …

Abstract In North America, Lyme disease is primarily caused by the spirochetal bacterium
Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto (Bb), which is transmitted between multiple vertebrate …

Reservoir host associations have been observed among and within Borrelia genospecies,
and host complement-mediated killing is a major determinant in these interactions. In North …

Lyme borreliosis (LB) is the most common vector‐borne disease in the Northern
Hemisphere caused by spirochetes belonging to the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (Bb sl) …

Borrelial pathogens are vector-borne etiological agents of Lyme disease, relapsing fever,
and Borrelia miyamotoi disease. These spirochetes each encode several surface-localized …

The preferential adaptation of pathogens to specific hosts, known as host tropism, evolves
through host-pathogen interactions. Transmitted by ticks and maintained primarily in rodents …

Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (B. burgdorferi sl) spirochetes are the causative agents of
Lyme disease (LD, Lyme borreliosis), the leading cause of tick-borne illness in North …

Die Lyme-Borreliose (LB) gilt als die häufigste, von Zecken übertragene Krankheit der
nördlichen Hemisphäre (WU et al., 2011). Bei den Erregern dieser Erkrankung handelt es …
