Identification of bptA (bbe16) as an Essential Gene for the Persistence of the Lyme Disease Spirochete, Borrelia Burgdorferi, in its Natural Tick Vector
… burgdorferi (B. burgdorferi), the agent of Lyme disease, is a zoonotic spirochetal bacterium that depends on both arthropod (Ixodes ticks) and ammalian (rodent) hosts for its persistence in nature. To more broadly survey B. burgdorferi's adaptive responses to these two diverse environmental …

Laimo boreliozės epidemiologiniai dėsningumai Lietuvoje 1995-2006 metais /
There are about 1500 cases of Lyme borreliosis (LB) registered annually in Lithuania, the average morbidity rate was 34/100 000 in 1991-2006. The high incidence of LB determines the high attention to the epidemiological situation. The analysis of the diseases patterns and causative factors is …

The identification and characterization of unique FemX homologue in B. burgdorferi, and insights into the peptidoglycan biosynthesis pathway
Borrelia burgdorferi — the causative agent of Lyme borreliosis — accounts for ~500,000 infections in the United States per year. Relative to other bacteria, B. burgdorferi is highly unusual in many regards. For instance, the synthesis and composition of B. burgdorferi cell wall is extremely unique …

Isolation and characterization of channel-forming proteins in the outer membrane of E. coli and Borrelia species
… TolC homologue BB0124 of B. burgdorferi, the Lyme borreliosis agent, was studied. In the last part the influence of point mutants within the greasy slide of the maltose specific porin (LamB) of E. coli were shown. In the first part of this study outer membrane preparations of three Borrelia …

Transmission Competence of B. burgdorferi Infected Ixodes Ticks and Development of an OspC-Based Lyme Disease Vaccine
<p><strong>Introduction.</strong> Lyme disease, otherwise called Lyme borreliosis, is a vector-borne infectious disease caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb). Studying the increase in overall Lyme disease incidence requires understanding the role of the vector Ixodes scapularis (I. …
