Lyme Disease
An infectious disease caused by a spirochete, BORRELIA BURGDORFERI, which is transmitted chiefly by Ixodes dammini (see IXODES) and pacificus ticks in the United States and Ixodes ricinis (see IXODES) in Europe. It is a disease with early and late cutaneous manifestations plus involvement of the nervous system, heart, eye, and joints in variable combinations. The disease was formerly known as Lyme arthritis and first discovered at Old Lyme, Connecticut.
Borrelia burgdorferi
A specific species of bacteria, part of the BORRELIA BURGDORFERI GROUP, whose common name is Lyme disease spirochete.
Borrelia burgdorferi Group
Gram-negative helical bacteria, in the genus BORRELIA, that are the etiologic agents of LYME DISEASE. The group comprises many specific species including Borrelia afzelii, Borellia garinii, and BORRELIA BURGDORFERI proper. These spirochetes are generally transmitted by several species of ixodid ticks.
Lyme Disease Vaccines
Vaccines or candidate vaccines used to prevent LYME DISEASE.
Borrelia
A genus of gram-negative, anaerobic, helical bacteria, various species of which produce RELAPSING FEVER in humans and other animals.
Ticks
Blood-sucking acarid parasites of the order Ixodida comprising two families: the softbacked ticks (ARGASIDAE) and hardbacked ticks (IXODIDAE). Ticks are larger than their relatives, the MITES. They penetrate the skin of their host by means of highly specialized, hooked mouth parts and feed on its blood. Ticks attack all groups of terrestrial vertebrates. In humans they are responsible for many TICK-BORNE DISEASES, including the transmission of ROCKY MOUNTAIN SPOTTED FEVER; TULAREMIA; BABESIOSIS; AFRICAN SWINE FEVER; and RELAPSING FEVER. (From Barnes, Invertebrate Zoology, 5th ed, pp543-44)
Lyme Neuroborreliosis
Nervous system infections caused by tick-borne spirochetes of the BORRELIA BURGDORFERI GROUP. The disease may affect elements of the central or peripheral nervous system in isolation or in combination. Common clinical manifestations include a lymphocytic meningitis, cranial neuropathy (most often a facial neuropathy), POLYRADICULOPATHY, and a mild loss of memory and other cognitive functions. Less often more extensive inflammation involving the central nervous system (encephalomyelitis) may occur. In the peripheral nervous system, B. burgdorferi infection is associated with mononeuritis multiplex and polyradiculoneuritis. (From J Neurol Sci 1998 Jan 8;153(2):182-91)
Spirochaetales
An order of slender, flexuous, helically coiled bacteria, with one or more complete turns in the helix.
Ixodes
The largest genus of TICKS in the family IXODIDAE, containing over 200 species. Many infest humans and other mammals and several are vectors of diseases such as LYME DISEASE, tick-borne encephalitis (ENCEPHALITIS, TICK-BORNE), and KYASANUR FOREST DISEASE.
Arachnid Vectors
Members of the class Arachnida, especially SPIDERS; SCORPIONS; MITES; and TICKS; which transmit infective organisms from one host to another or from an inanimate reservoir to an animate host.
Erythema Chronicum Migrans
A deep type of gyrate erythema that follows a bite by an ixodid tick; it is a stage-1 manifestation of LYME DISEASE. The site of the bite is characterized by a red papule that expands peripherally as a nonscaling, palpable band that clears centrally. This condition is often associated with systemic symptoms such as chills, fever, headache, malaise, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, backache, and stiff neck.

Borrelia Infections
Infections with bacteria of the genus BORRELIA.
Nymph
The immature stage in the life cycle of those orders of insects characterized by gradual metamorphosis, in which the young resemble the imago in general form of body, including compound eyes and external wings; also the 8-legged stage of mites and ticks that follows the first moult.

Arthropods, other than insects and arachnids, which transmit infective organisms from one host to another or from an inanimate reservoir to an animate host.
Bacterial Vaccines
Suspensions of attenuated or killed bacteria administered for the prevention or treatment of infectious bacterial disease.
Tick Infestations
Infestations with soft-bodied (Argasidae) or hard-bodied (Ixodidae) ticks.
Relapsing Fever
An acute infection characterized by recurrent episodes of PYREXIA alternating with asymptomatic intervals of apparent recovery. This condition is caused by SPIROCHETES of the genus BORRELIA. It is transmitted by the BITES of either the body louse (PEDICULUS humanus corporis), for which humans are the reservoir, or by soft ticks of the genus ORNITHODOROS, for which rodents and other animals are the principal reservoirs.
Lipoproteins
Lipid-protein complexes involved in the transportation and metabolism of lipids in the body. They are spherical particles consisting of a hydrophobic core of TRIGLYCERIDES and CHOLESTEROL ESTERS surrounded by a layer of hydrophilic free CHOLESTEROL; PHOSPHOLIPIDS; and APOLIPOPROTEINS. Lipoproteins are classified by their varying buoyant density and sizes.
Antigens, Bacterial
Substances elaborated by bacteria that have antigenic activity.
Disease Reservoirs
Animate or inanimate sources which normally harbor disease-causing organisms and thus serve as potential sources of disease outbreaks. Reservoirs are distinguished from vectors (DISEASE VECTORS) and carriers, which are agents of disease transmission rather than continuing sources of potential disease outbreaks.
Maine

Tick-Borne Diseases
Bacterial, viral, or parasitic diseases transmitted to humans and animals by the bite of infected ticks. The families Ixodidae and Argasidae contain many bloodsucking species that are important pests of man and domestic birds and mammals and probably exceed all other arthropods in the number and variety of disease agents they transmit. Many of the tick-borne diseases are zoonotic.
Erythema
Redness of the skin produced by congestion of the capillaries. This condition may result from a variety of causes.
Flagellin
A protein with a molecular weight of 40,000 isolated from bacterial flagella. At appropriate pH and salt concentration, three flagellin monomers can spontaneously reaggregate to form structures which appear identical to intact flagella.
Ehrlichiosis
A tick-borne disease characterized by FEVER; HEADACHE; myalgias; ANOREXIA; and occasionally RASH. It is caused by several bacterial species and can produce disease in DOGS; CATTLE; SHEEP; GOATS; HORSES; and humans. The primary species causing human disease are EHRLICHIA CHAFFEENSIS; ANAPLASMA PHAGOCYTOPHILUM; and Ehrlichia ewingii.
Bacterial Proteins
Proteins found in any species of bacterium.
Immunoglobulin M
A class of immunoglobulin bearing mu chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN MU-CHAINS). IgM can fix COMPLEMENT. The name comes from its high molecular weight and originally being called a macroglobulin.
DNA, Bacterial
Deoxyribonucleic acid that makes up the genetic material of bacteria.
Facial Paralysis
Severe or complete loss of facial muscle motor function. This condition may result from central or peripheral lesions. Damage to CNS motor pathways from the cerebral cortex to the facial nuclei in the pons leads to facial weakness that generally spares the forehead muscles. FACIAL NERVE DISEASES generally results in generalized hemifacial weakness. NEUROMUSCULAR JUNCTION DISEASES and MUSCULAR DISEASES may also cause facial paralysis or paresis.
Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay
An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
Doxycycline
A synthetic tetracycline derivative with similar antimicrobial activity.

The family Cervidae of 17 genera and 45 species occurring nearly throughout North America, South America, and Eurasia, on most associated continental islands, and in northern Africa. Wild populations of deer have been established through introduction by people in Cuba, New Guinea, Australia, New Zealand, and other places where the family does not naturally occur. They are slim, long-legged and best characterized by the presence of antlers. Their habitat is forests, swamps, brush country, deserts, and arctic tundra. They are usually good swimmers; some migrate seasonally. (Walker's Mammals of the World, 5th ed, p1362)

Insect Repellents
Substances causing insects to turn away from them or reject them as food.
Polymerase Chain Reaction
In vitro method for producing large amounts of specific DNA or RNA fragments of defined length and sequence from small amounts of short oligonucleotide flanking sequences (primers). The essential steps include thermal denaturation of the double-stranded target molecules, annealing of the primers to their complementary sequences, and extension of the annealed primers by enzymatic synthesis with DNA polymerase. The reaction is efficient, specific, and extremely sensitive. Uses for the reaction include disease diagnosis, detection of difficult-to-isolate pathogens, mutation analysis, genetic testing, DNA sequencing, and analyzing evolutionary relationships.

Molecular and evolutionary analysis of Borrelia burgdorferi 297 circular plasmid-encoded lipoproteins with OspE- and OspF-like leader peptides. (1/1720)

We previously described two OspE and three OspF homologs in Borrelia burgdorferi 297 (D. R. Akins, S. F. Porcella, T. G. Popova, D. Shevchenko, S. I. Baker, M. Li, M. V. Norgard, and J. D. Radolf, Mol. Microbiol. 18:507-520, 1995; D. R. Akins, K. W. Bourell, M. J. Caimano, M. V. Norgard, and J. D. Radolf, J. Clin. Investig. 101:2240-2250, 1998). In this study, we characterized four additional lipoproteins with OspE/F-like leader peptides (Elps) and demonstrated that all are encoded on plasmids homologous to cp32 and cp18 from the B31 and N40 strains, respectively. Statistical analysis of sequence similarities using the binary comparison algorithm revealed that the nine lipoproteins from strain 297, as well as the OspE, OspF, and Erp proteins from the N40 and B31 strains, fall into three distinct families. Based upon the observation that these lipoproteins all contain highly conserved leader peptides, we now propose that the ancestors of each of the three families arose from gene fusion events which joined a common N terminus to unrelated proteins. Additionally, further sequence analysis of the strain 297 circular plasmids revealed that rearrangements appear to have played an important role in generating sequence diversity among the members of these three families and that recombinational events in the downstream flanking regions appear to have occurred independently of those within the lipoprotein-encoding genes. The association of hypervariable regions with genes which are differentially expressed and/or subject to immunological pressures suggests that the Lyme disease spirochete has exploited recombinatorial processes to foster its parasitic strategy and enhance its immunoevasiveness.  (+info)

Low rates of ehrlichiosis and Lyme borreliosis in English farmworkers. (2/1720)

To determine the occupational significance of tick-borne zoonoses we sought serological evidence of Lyme borreliosis, human monocytic ehrlichiosis (HME) and human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE) in a representative sample of farmworkers. Although around 20% reported ticks on their domestic and companion animals, few (< 2% per year) reported being bitten by ticks. Seroprevalence of Lyme borreliosis (0.2%), HME (0.2%) and HGE (1.5%) was low. Those seropositive for HGE were no more likely to report tick bites nor more likely to report ticks on their animals. This study provides evidence that farmworkers in England are exposed to tick-borne zoonoses but that they are uncommon. Since the severity of these diseases is linked to delays in diagnosis and treatment, clinicians should be aware of these diagnoses in patients from rural communities, with or without a self-reported history of tick bite.  (+info)

Evaluation of two-test serodiagnostic method for early Lyme disease in clinical practice. (3/1720)

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend a two-test approach for the serodiagnosis of Lyme disease (LD), with EIA testing followed by Western immunoblotting (WB) of EIA-equivocal and -positive specimens. This approach was compared with a simplified two-test approach (WB of EIA equivocals only) and WB alone for early LD. Case-patients with erythema migrans (EM) rash >/=5 cm were recruited from three primary-care practices in LD-endemic areas to provide acute- (S1) and convalescent-phase serum specimens (S2). The simplified approach had the highest sensitivity when either S1 or S2 samples were tested, nearly doubling when S2 were tested, while decreasing slightly for the other two approaches. Accordingly, the simplified approach had the lowest negative likelihood ratio for either S1 or S2. For early LD with EM, the simplified approach performed well and was less costly than the other testing approaches since less WB is required.  (+info)

A reanalysis of IgM Western blot criteria for the diagnosis of early Lyme disease. (4/1720)

A two-step approach for diagnosis of Lyme disease, consisting of an initial EIA followed by a confirmatory Western immunoblot, has been advised by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). However, these criteria do not examine the influence of the prior probability of Lyme disease in a given patient on the predictive value of the tests. By using Bayesian analysis, a mathematical algorithm is proposed that computes the probability that a given patient's Western blot result represents Lyme disease. Assuming prior probabilities of early Lyme disease of 1%-10%, the current CDC minimum criteria for IgM immunoblot interpretation yield posttest probabilities of 4%-32%. The value of the two-step approach for diagnosis of early Lyme disease may be limited in populations at lower risk of disease or when patients present with atypical signs and symptoms.  (+info)

Interaction of Borrelia burgdorferi with peripheral blood fibrocytes, antigen-presenting cells with the potential for connective tissue targeting. (5/1720)

BACKGROUND: Borrelia Burgdorferi has a predilection for collagenous tissue and can interact with fibronectin and cellular collagens. While the molecular mechanisms of how B. burgdorferi targets connective tissues and causes arthritis are not understood, the spirochetes can bind to a number of different cell types, including fibroblasts. A novel circulating fibroblast-like cell called the peripheral blood fibrocyte has recently been described. Fibrocytes express collagen types I and III as well as fibronectin. Besides playing a role in wound healing, fibrocytes have the potential to target to connective tissue and the functional capacity to recruit, activate, and present antigen to CD4(+) T cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Rhesus monkey fibrocytes were isolated and characterized by flow cytometry. B. burgdorferi were incubated with human or monkey fibrocyte cultures in vitro and the cellular interactions analyzed by light and electron microscopy. The two strains of B. burgdorferi studied included JD1, which is highly pathogenic for monkeys, and M297, which lacks the cell surface OspA and OspB proteins. RESULTS: In this study, we demonstrate that B. burgdorferi binds to both human and monkey (rhesus) fibrocytes in vitro. This process does not require OspA or OspB. In addition, the spirochetes are not phagocytosed but are taken into deep recesses of the cell membrane, a process that may protect them from the immune system. CONCLUSIONS: This interaction between B. burgdorferi and peripheral blood fibrocytes provides a potential explanation for the targeting of spirochetes to joint connective tissue and may contribute to the inflammatory process in Lyme arthritis.  (+info)

Isolation of Lyme disease Borrelia from puffins (Fratercula arctica) and seabird ticks (Ixodes uriae) on the Faeroe Islands. (6/1720)

This is the first report on the isolation of Lyme disease Borrelia from seabirds on the Faeroe Islands and the characteristics of its enzootic cycle. The major components of the Borrelia cycle include the puffin (Fratercula arctica) as the reservoir and Ixodes uriae as the vector. The importance of this cycle and its impact on the spread of human Lyme borreliosis have not yet been established. Borrelia spirochetes isolated from 2 of 102 sampled puffins were compared to the borreliae previously obtained from seabird ticks, I. uriae. The rrf-rrl intergenic spacer and the rrs and the ospC genes were sequenced and a series of phylogenetic trees were constructed. Sequence data and restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis grouped the strains together with Borrelia garinii. In a seroepidemiological survey performed with residents involved in puffin hunting on the Faeroe Islands, 3 of 81 serum samples were found to be positive by two commonly used clinical tests: a flagellin-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Western blotting. These three positive serum samples also had high optical density values in a whole-cell ELISA. The finding of seropositive Faeroe Islanders who are regularly exposed to I. uriae indicate that there may be a transfer of B. garinii by this tick species to humans.  (+info)

Rapid and sensitive quantification of Borrelia burgdorferi-infected mouse tissues by continuous fluorescent monitoring of PCR. (7/1720)

The quantity of Borrelia burgdorferi organisms in tissue samples is an important determinant for infection studies in the mouse model of Lyme disease. This report presents the development of a rapid and sensitive external-standard-based PCR assay for the absolute quantification of B. burgdorferi in mouse tissue samples. The assay uses a double-stranded DNA dye to continuously monitor product formation and in less than an hour was able to quantify samples ranging up to 6 log units in concentration. The PCR efficiencies of the sample and the standard were matched by using a standard composed of purified B. burgdorferi chromosome mixed with tissue-matched mouse genome lacking bacterial DNA. Normalization of B. burgdorferi quantities to the mouse nidogen gene allowed comparison of B. burgdorferi numbers in samples isolated from different tissues and strains. PCR analysis of the chromosomal gene recA in cultured B. burgdorferi was consistent with a single recA per bacterium. The parameters defined in this assay should be applicable to quantification of other organisms, even infectious agents for which no ready source of DNA standard is available. In summary, this report presents a rapid external-standard-based PCR method for the quantification of B. burgdorferi in mouse DNA samples.  (+info)

Strain variation in glycosaminoglycan recognition influences cell-type-specific binding by lyme disease spirochetes. (8/1720)

Lyme disease, a chronic multisystemic disorder that can affect the skin, heart, joints, and nervous system is caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. Lyme disease spirochetes were previously shown to bind glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). In the current study, the GAG-binding properties of eight Lyme disease strains were determined. Binding by two high-passage HB19 derivatives to Vero cells could not be inhibited by enzymatic removal of GAGs or by the addition of exogenous GAG. The other six strains, which included a different high-passage HB19 derivative (HB19 clone 1), were shown to recognize both heparan sulfate and dermatan sulfate in cell-binding assays, but the relative efficiency of binding to these two GAGs varied among the strains. Strains N40, CA20-2A, and PBi bound predominantly to heparan sulfate, PBo bound both heparan sulfate and dermatan sulfate roughly equally, and VS461 and HB19 clone 1 recognized primarily dermatan sulfate. Cell binding by strain HB19 clone 1 was inhibited better by exogenous dermatan sulfate than by heparin, whereas heparin was the better inhibitor of binding by strain N40. The GAG-binding preference of a Lyme disease strain was reflected in its cell-type-specific binding. Strains that recognized predominantly heparan sulfate bound efficiently to both C6 glioma cells and EA-Hy926 cells, whereas strains that recognized predominantly dermatan sulfate bound well only to the glial cells. The effect of lyase treatment of these cells on bacterial binding was consistent with the model that cell-type-specific binding was a reflection of the GAG-binding preference. We conclude that the GAG-binding preference varies with the strain of Lyme disease spirochete and that this variation influences cell-type-specific binding in vitro.  (+info)

Post Treatment Lyme (Chronic Lyme disease) - Whittemore Peterson InstitutePost Treatment Lyme (Chronic Lyme disease) - Whittemore Peterson Institute
Post-treatment Lyme disease (PTLD) or chronic Lyme disease is the name for a group of chronic symptoms that may occur after taking the antibiotic treatment for an acute episode of Lyme disease. Ticks carry multiple bacterial pathogens in their saliva including Borrelia, the pathogen which causes Lyme disease. They transmit these infections to humans by attaching themselves to the skin and mixing their saliva with human blood. Doctors recommend a two-to-three-week course of antibiotics, which in most cases is enough to stop the symptoms of Lyme disease from causing chronic infections in various organs. However, many individuals continue to suffer from muscle and joint pain, disordered sleep, cognitive impairment, and mood disorders for months to years after the acute stage. FDA-approved blood tests for acute Lyme infections are most often negative at this stage of disease, making it difficult to determine if the spirochetes are the cause of these chronic symptoms. A recent publication by Johns ...

Lyme disease is the most common vectorborne illness in the United States, with about 30,000 confirmed and probable cases diagnosed in 2010. Lyme disease also occurs worldwide. In Europe, the tick that causes Lyme disease lives on sheep, not on deer.An estimated 70 to 80 percent of people with Lyme disease develop a characteristic solid or bullseye red rash, called erythema migrans (EM). But Lyme disease should be suspected in anyone who has visited an area where Lyme disease is common, may have had a tick bite, and has other symptoms of early Lyme disease such as:

Lyme disease - Health & Medicine News
Lyme disease was first recognized in 1975 in a town, named old Lyme in Connecticut. Now the disease in noticed worldwide. Most of the Lyme disease cases are observed through transmission of spirochete Borrelia bacteria, such as Borrelia burgdorferi through bite of deer ticks or western back legged ticks. Ticks are tiny, blood sucking ectoparasites which vary in color and size. Tick bite can be recognized only as a lump with a small scab on the skin surface. Incubation period of lyme disease is around two weeks. Though the early symptoms are not observed in several cases, the typical skin rash of the disease can be seen. This skin rash should be taken seriously and consulted with the doctor, to avoid further complications. Lyme disease can also be fatal, which affects vital organs of the body, such as brain and heart. Lyme disease diagnosis shall be done using Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) test, Western Blot test and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Lyme disease treatment: As lyme is ...

Ticks in the Ixodes ricinus-species complex have been implicated as vectors of Lyme disease spirochetes (Borrelia burgdorferi). A variety of other ticks, notably American dog ticks (Dermacentor variabilis) and Lone Star ticks (Amblyomma americanum) in the U.S., appear incapable of transmitting Lyme disease spirochetes despite ingesting these bacteria. In this study, I confirmed that deer ticks, but not dog ticks or Lone Star ticks became infected with Lyme disease spirochetes after feeding on infected hosts. In addition, I assessed several potential physiologic factors that could affect the ability of ticks to acquire, maintain, and transmit B. burgdorferi. One factor in particular, found in tick saliva, appears responsible for preventing spirochete killing in I. scapularis but not D. variabilis or A. americanum. In one study, I assessed anti-microbial activity of the ticks immune system. In particular, I determined whether ticks exhibited measurable phenoloxidase and antimicrobial activity.

Lyme disease tests were featured front and center in a recent FDA report highlighting 20 offending lab tests. The FDA and Lyme disease labs and some Lyme physicians have been butting heads for years. The CDC has gone so far as to produce videos featuring patients misdiagnosed with Lyme disease who were later found to have something else. (See below).. In a report titled Can You Trust Lyme Disease Tests?, the New England Center for Investigative Reporting found, however, that thousands of people were being assessed for Lyme disease every year using unvalidated and inaccurate tests.. It noted that New York State - the only state that attempts to independently verify the accuracy of the tests - is not allowing seven labs to run Lyme disease tests there.. IGeneX, a large Lyme disease testing lab, has reportedly attempted three times to get New York State approval and has been denied all three times because of insufficient documentation.

About Lyme Disease | Lyme Resource Medical Of New York
Lyme Disease is caused by a Borrelia Burgdorferi infection transmitted through the bite of a black legged tick, Ixodes Scapularis. The infected ticks are found throughout the Northeast and more than forty other states, as well as Europe, Asia, and Australia. A telltale Bulls Eye, or erythema migrans rash, along with flu-like symptoms, occurs in only 30-40% of early Lyme Disease patients. This rash classically delineates the initial stage of the infection. Usually after a four to six week course of antibiotic therapy, the disease process can be arrested.. However, Lyme Disease can prove to be a more difficult and complex process to diagnose and treat. When characteristic more commonplace symptoms are not present (such as above). Lyme Disease can progress untreated and become a serious, chronic, and sometimes debilitating illness, which affects multiple systems of the body.. Chronic Systemic Lyme Disease (CSLD) has an affinity for the joints, muscles, heart, and especially the nervous ...

Lyme disease (LD) is a corkscrew shaped bacterial infection caused by the spirochete known as Borrelia. Lyme Disease knows no borders and is a major health problem worldwide. In 2007, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that reported Lyme disease cases in the US had more than doubled since the CDC began recording cases in 1991. In 2010, the CDC reported 94% of Lyme disease cases were reported from 12 states: Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia & Wisconsin. Lyme disease has exceeded AIDS as one of the fastest growing infectious epidemics in our nation, with a cost to society measured at approximately $1 billion annually. In the United States, Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb) is an extremely complex bacterium believed to be carried by deer ticks. Research has shown that less than 50% of children and adults with reported cases of Lyme disease exhibit the classic Bulls Eye rash. The lack of the ...

Lyme borreliosis is a complex multisystem disorder with both early and late manifestations. It is caused by infection with the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, which is transmitted to humans by the bite of infected ticks. In the United States, B. burgdorferi is most commonly transmitted by ticks of the genus Ixodes, chiefly Ixodes scapularis. Early signs and symptoms of Lyme disease include erythema migrans, acute meningitis, and Bells palsy, whereas the late phase of the disease may manifest as arthritis and chronic neurologic abnormalities (8, 21).. Little is known about the pathogenesis of Lyme disease and the bacterial virulence factors involved. Bacterial lipoproteins have been implicated as generic virulence factors of B. burgdorferi as this spirochete genome bears more than 150 open reading frames putatively encoding such molecules (1, 4). Lipoproteins are potent immunopotentiators that are known to cause inflammation (2, 5, 12-14, 18, 19, 24, 25), which in turn is present in ...

We determined the humoral immune response to outer surface protein C (OspC) of Borrelia burgdorferi in patients with early or late manifestations of Lyme disease and investigated the use of this antigen in the serodiagnosis of early infection. The ospC gene from the low-passage human isolate 297, a North American B. burgdorferi strain, was used to make a recombinant maltose-binding protein (MBP)-OspC fusion protein for serologic tests. This gene showed 84 to 85% nucleotide sequence identity and 76 to 79% amino acid identity with ospC of B. burgdorferi B31 and 2591. The antibody responses to MBP-OspC were determined in serial sera from 15 patients with Lyme disease who were monitored for 4 to 12 years of illness, in single-serum samples from 189 patients with early or late manifestations of the disorder, and in serum samples from 106 control patients. Early in the infection, patients with erythema migrans or meningitis commonly had weak to strong immunoglobulin M (IgM) responses to OspC and ...

Lyme disease is caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi. The spirochete is transmitted to humans through the bite of Ixodes species ticks. Endemic areas for Lyme disease in the United States correspond with the distribution of 2 tick species, Ixodes dammini (Northeastern and upper Midwestern US) and Ixodes pacificus (West Coast US). In Europe, Ixodes ricinus transmits the spirochete.. Lyme disease exhibits a variety of symptoms that may be confused with immune and inflammatory disorders. Inflammation around the tick bite causes skin lesions. Erythema chronicum migrans (ECM), a unique expanding skin lesion with central clearing, which results in a ring-like appearance, is the first stage of the disease. Any of the following clinical manifestations may be present in patients with Lyme disease: arthritis, neurological or cardiac disease, or skin lesions. Neurologic and cardiac symptoms may appear with stage 2 and arthritic symptoms with stage 3 of Lyme disease. In some cases, a definitive ...

A small portion of those who undergo regular antibiotic treatment for Lyme disease suffer muscle aches, pains, and fatigue after their treatment is finished. Many of them believe this is because of chronic Lyme disease,[14][15][16] a persistent infection of Lyme spirochetes that either survived antibiotic treatment or was originally misdiagnosed. However, the Infectious Diseases Society of America,[17] the Centers for Disease Control,[18] the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (run by the National Institutes of Health),[19] and the American Academy of Neurology[20] all agree that there is no such condition as Chronic Lyme disease.

People who spend time in grassy and wooded environments are at an increased risk of exposure. The chances of being bitten by a deer tick are greater during times of the year when ticks are most active. Young deer ticks, called nymphs, are active from mid-May to mid-August and are about the size of poppy seeds. Adult ticks, which are approximately the size of sesame seeds, are most active from March to mid-May and from mid-August to November. Both nymphs and adults can transmit Lyme disease. Ticks can be active any time the temperature is above freezing. Infected deer ticks can be found throughout New York ...

The role of eicosanoids in experimental Lyme arthritis. - ProhealthThe role of eicosanoids in experimental Lyme arthritis. - Prohealth
Experimental Lyme arthritis is an inflammatory arthritis caused by infection of mice with the spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi. It recapitulates many of the disease parameters seen in human patients with Lyme arthritis, and thus serves as a model system for the investigation of disease pathogenesis. While much progress has been made in defining components of the immune response to Borrelia infection, an overall understanding of the host response leading to arthritis resistance or susceptibility remains elusive. In this review, we will focus on recent advancements of our understanding of the roles of eicosanoids as inflammatory mediators in the regulation of experimental Lyme arthritis. Eicosanoids, such as PGE2 and LTB4, are powerful regulators of inflammatory responses and thus may be important mediators of Lyme arthritis.

My Personal Battle With Chronic Lyme Disease | Natural Endocrine Solutions
A few months ago I wrote a blog post entitled The Lyme-Thyroid Connection. It was a very detailed post, but one thing I didnt reveal was the motivation behind it. The reason why I decided to write about Lyme disease was because the previous month I personally was diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease. Although I was thinking about revealing that I had Lyme disease in the previous blog post, I decided to hold off for a few reasons. One reason is because the blog post was long enough without my personal story! In addition, I figured Id wait until I went through a few months of treatment (to be discussed below), as I didnt want current and future patients to be concerned about my state of health. Before moving on, I do want to say that I currently feel great.

Lyme disease microbiology - WikipediaLyme disease microbiology - Wikipedia
Lyme disease, or borreliosis, is caused by spirochetal bacteria from the genus Borrelia, which has 52 known species. Three main species (Borrelia garinii, Borrelia afzelii, and Borrelia burgdorferi s.s.) are the main causative agents of the disease in humans, while a number of others have been implicated as possibly pathogenic. Borrelia species in the species complex known to cause Lyme disease are collectively called Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) not to be confused with the single species in that complex Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto which is responsible for all cases of Lyme disease in North America. Borrelia are microaerophilic and slow-growing-the primary reason for the long delays when diagnosing Lyme disease-and have been found to have greater strain diversity than previously estimated. The strains differ in clinical symptoms and/or presentation as well as geographic distribution. Except for Borrelia recurrentis (which causes louse-borne relapsing fever and is transmitted by ...

And despite the fact that the disease is so familiar to those of us who live in these areas, there are many misconceptions about Lyme that can be pretty dangerous. For instance, Lyme disease is most commonly associated with deer- you know, that other nuisance that comes with living near the woods. But ticks actually pick up Lyme disease from infected mice. And did you know that the bullseye rash that comes with a tick bite sometimes doesnt always appear? And that means its possible that you could have Lyme disease even if you never saw the ...

You may have heard that more and more people are being diagnosed with Lyme disease each year. In fact, Lyme disease is the most common insect-borne illness in the United States. Mosquitoes do not even come close to matching ticks when it comes to spreading disease. This increase in Lyme disease cases also means that more pets are coming down with the disease as well. Dogs are particularly vulnerable to ticks since dogs tend to spend a significant amount of time exploring the outdoors.. In New England, where Lyme carrying ticks are common, experts claim that anywhere between fifty to seventy five percent of dogs will test positive for the disease. Data shows that during the past five years seven hundred thousand dogs have been diagnosed with Lyme disease in the US and Canada.

Introduction: Lyme disease is a tickborne illness that generates controversy among medical providers and researchers. One of the key topics of debate is the existence of persistent infection with the Lyme spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi, in patients who have been treated with recommended doses of antibiotics yet remain symptomatic. Persistent spirochetal infection despite antibiotic therapy has recently been demonstrated in non-human primates. We present evidence of persistent Borrelia infection despite antibiotic therapy in patients with ongoing Lyme disease symptoms. Materials & Methods: In this pilot study, culture of body fluids and tissues was performed in a randomly selected group of 12 patients with persistent Lyme disease symptoms who had been treated or who were being treated with antibiotics. Cultures were also performed on a group of 10 control subjects without Lyme disease. The cultures were subjected to corroborative microscopic, histopathological and molecular testing for Borrelia

Lyme Disease, recognition, treatment, and prevention - eDocAmerica
What is the first sign that someone may have Lyme disease? Lyme disease produces different manifestations at different times during the course of the illness. The first sign of an infection is usually a rash called erythema migrans (EM). This is a circular rash that develops at the site of the tick bite. This rash occurs in approximately 70-80% of those infected, appearing anywhere from a few days to a month after the tick bite. EM gradually expands over a period of several days and can reach up to 12 inches in diameter. Sometimes the center of rash clears, resulting in a bulls eye appearance.. What symptoms are associated with Lyme disease? Along with the rash, most people with early Lyme disease develop symptoms such as fatigue, chills, fever, headache, muscle and joint aches. Red rings can develop at the site of tick bites for reasons other than Lyme disease. Localized inflammation related to the tick bite itself or a secondary infection by Strep bacteria can produce a similar, although ...

Lyme disease: New research on Borrelia burgdorferi persistence - Outbreak News TodayLyme disease: New research on Borrelia burgdorferi persistence - Outbreak News Today
Lyme disease is one of the most common infectious diseases in the United States with about 329,000 new cases each year, according to statistics released in 2015 by the CDC. Lyme disease is a potentially disabling infection caused by bacteria transmitted through the bite of an infected tick to people and pets.. The efficacy and accepted regimen of antibiotic treatment for Lyme disease has been a point of significant contention among physicians and patients.. Newly published research finds that the Lyme bacteria, Borrelia burgdorferi survive a 28-day course of antibiotics when treated months after infection. In addition, the study also measured the antibody immune response to the bacteria both pre- and post- treatment, as this is how current diagnostics typically evaluate Lyme disease in humans.. Lead author of the study, Monica Embers, PhD joined me to discuss the research and its implications. Dr Embers is an assistant professor of microbiology and immunology at Tulane University School of ...

An example of pseudoscience: Chronic Lyme diseaseAn example of pseudoscience: Chronic Lyme disease
By J. Marc Girard, MD, FRCPC*. No matter what some American politicians say, climate change is real and has consequences that we can all observe. This warming provokes upheavals in our ecosystems which encourage the arrival of formerly unknown infections.. The emergence of chikungunya, of the Zika virus and of dengue fever in North America is, of course, one important consequence.. It is also undeniable that Canada, and especially Quebec, will be increasingly affected by bacteria of the Borrelia family that are responsible for Lyme disease. It is essential that the medical corps be better informed about this disease, especially its acute form, which is characterized by specific signs and symptoms. A simple antibiotic treatment ensures rapid control of the disease in its acute phase.. For some years now, we have been seeing the emergence of a movement in defense of the concept of chronic Lyme disease. This movement, originating in the United States, claims that Borrelia can cause a chronic ...

Nebraska Declares May Lyme Disease Awareness Month | Twin Cities Lyme FoundationNebraska Declares May Lyme Disease Awareness Month | Twin Cities Lyme Foundation
Twin Cities Lyme Foundations objective is to provide access to proper diagnosis for individuals that believe they are experiencing symptoms of Lyme disease. We do this through our participating Lyme Literate Practitioner (LLP).. Our assessment is not meant to diagnose Lyme disease, rather understand whether the symptoms one is experiencing may relate to Lyme disease and warrant consultation/examination.. The assessment will present a series of general health related questions. The cumulative answers to the questions will determine whether or not a consultation/examination is a reasonable next step to determining whether or not an individual may carry the bacterial species related to Lyme disease.. Should the results of the on-line evaluation indicate that a consultation/examination is warranted, you will receive an e-mail as soon as possible with instructions on further steps to be connected to an LLP who can provide you with and educated Lyme literate diagnosis.. ...

Now is Tick and Lyme Disease Season - Boston, NorwoodNow is Tick and Lyme Disease Season - Boston, Norwood
If you or your pet has been outside this spring, then chances are you have seen a tick. Tick season is in full swing. From now until early July, the risk of being bitten by the poppy seed-sized black-legged tick that transmits Lyme disease is high.. What is Lyme disease?. Lyme disease is caused by a bacterium, transmitted by tick bites. It can cause complications such as meningitis, facial palsy, arthritis and heart abnormalities if untreated. It usually occurs in the summer months. Often, but not always, individuals develop a large circular rash around or near the tick bite. Symptoms include chills, a fever, a headache, fatigue, a stiff neck, swollen glands and muscle and/or joint pain. Symptoms usually appear within a month of exposure.. A physician should be consulted if Lyme disease is suspected. Antibiotics are very effective in treating the disease, but early diagnosis improves the outcome.. Cases increasing. The rising incidence of Lyme disease is due to a number of factors, including ...

ASMscience | Lyme Disease: Serologic
Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne bacterial disease in the northern hemisphere. The disease is caused by three genomic groups or genospecies of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato: B. burgdorferi sensu stricto, B. garinii, and B. afzelii. Only B. burgdorferi sensu stricto is known to cause Lyme disease in North America, whereas all three genospecies are responsible for the disease in Europe. Serology is the most useful type of laboratory test that is widely available to support a clinical diagnosis of Lyme disease. Positive serologic test results, however, should not be used by themselves to establish this diagnosis. Laboratory testing of samples from such patients also is not recommended, since testing will result in more false-positive results than true positives. Serum specimens first should be evaluated by a sensitive enzyme immunoassay (EIA) or immunofluorescent assay (IFA). During the first month of infection, both immunoglobulin M (IgM) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody responses should be

Lyme Disease is a disease aquired through a tick bite which refers to an infection by Borrelia burgdorferi. Symptoms can include fever, headache, fatigue, and a characteristic skin rash called erythema migrans. If left untreated, infection can spread to joints, the heart, and the nervous system. Lyme disease is diagnosed based on symptoms, physical findings (e.g., rash), and the possibility of exposure to infected ticks. Laboratory testing is helpful if used correctly and performed with validated methods. Most cases of Lyme disease can be treated successfully with a few weeks of antibiotics ...

Development and validation of a FACS-based lipoprotein localization screen in the Lyme disease spirochete Borrelia burgdorferiDevelopment and validation of a FACS-based lipoprotein localization screen in the Lyme disease spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi
Abstract Background In our previous studies on lipoprotein secretion in the Lyme disease spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi, we used monomeric red fluorescent protein 1 (mRFP1) fused to specifically mutated outer surface protein A (OspA) N-terminal lipopeptides to gather first insights into lipoprotein sorting determinants. OspA:mRFP1 fusions could be detected by epifluorescence microscopy both in the periplasm and on the bacterial surface. To build on these findings and to complement the prior targeted mutagenesis approach, we set out to develop a screen to probe a random mutagenesis expression library for mutants expressing differentially localized lipoproteins. Results A Glu-Asp codon pair in the inner membrane-localized OspA20:mRFP1 fusion was chosen for mutagenesis since the two negative charges were previously shown to define the phenotype. A library of random mutants in the two codons was generated and expressed in B. burgdorferi. In situ surface proteolysis combined with fluorescence ...

To determine whether relapsing fever-like spirochetes associated with hard ticks may infect Ixodes ricinus ticks in central Europe, we screened questing ticks for 16S rDNA similar to that of Asian and American relapsing fever-like spirochetes. We compared the prevalence of these spirochetes to that of Lyme disease spirochetes transmitted by the same vector. Relapsing fever-like spirochetes infect 3.5% of questing vector ticks in our three central European sites near the Rhein Valley. These spirochetes differ genetically from their American and Asian analogs while being relatively homogeneous in the region we sampled. The Lyme disease genospecies most commonly detected in central Europe are distributed broadly, whereas those that are less frequently found appear to be place-specific. The absence of co-infected ticks suggests that relapsing fever-like and Lyme disease spirochetes may not share hosts. Exposure risk for relapsing fever-like spirochetes is similar to that of certain Lyme disease ...

Can Lyme Disease and Other Tick-Borne Infections Trigger Thyroid Autoimmunity?
Published June 8 2015. Its common for people with thyroid and autoimmune thyroid conditions to have infections, including H. Pylori, candida, Epstein Barr, Yersenia Enterocolitica, etc. While these and other types of infections can be challenging to treat, Lyme disease and other tick-borne infections can be one of the most difficult infections to overcome. Its challenging enough to restore ones health when dealing with a condition such as Hashimotos Thyroiditis or Graves Disease, but its obviously even more challenging when someone has an autoimmune thyroid condition and also has a condition such as Lyme disease.. Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne disease in the United States, as approximately 20,000 cases of Lyme disease are reported annually (1). However, there are also many cases of Lyme disease which arent reported, and so the actual number is much higher than this. The disease is transmitted to humans through the bite of the Ixodes tick, and in most cases the tick must feed ...

Reply To: MSA and Lyme Disease | Multiple System Atrophy
Lyme disease is not officially recognised as being endemic in Australia - this does not mean that it does not exist here, but the medical community foes not believe it to be so. As far as I am aware, everyone with recognised Lyme disease caught it outside Australia. However, there is a group of people with Lyme like symptoms who say that they have Lyme disease caught in Australia but the existence of the disease in these people is controversial. Because multiple system atrophy is only a rare complication of Lyme disease, and there are few cases of Lyme disease in Australia, I would be surprised if there were any patients with Lyme-related MSA in Australia.. ...

Why Is Chronic Lyme Borreliosis Chronic? : Clinical Infectious Diseases - oi
Chronic Lyme borreliosis (CLB) can present not only in different organs but also in different patterns. Although many theories exist about the mechanisms leading to CLB, it is known that viable Borrelia burgdorferi can persist for decades and cause late skin manifestations of acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans (ACA). Thus, the immunopathogenetci findings in ACA can serve as a model for studying the chronic course of Lyme borreliosis. Recent findings indicate that the most important cell for antigen presentation, the epidermal Langerhans cell (LC), is invaded by B. burgdorferi in early Lyme borreliosis. Therefore, LCs were stained immunohistochemically with different markers to investigate their functional activity. Numbers of CD1a+ LCs were reduced in erythema migrans but normal or slightly elevated in ACA. In both diseases there was also a marked downregulation of major histocompatibility complex class II molecules on LCs, as measured by staining of human leukocyte antigen DR. This phenomenon ...

Lyme Disease Vaccine And Prevention - Wise Road Animal Hospital
Lyme disease is caused by Borrelia burgdorferi and transmitted by ticks. Any pet or person that goes outside is exposed to ticks. Pets that are most at risk are those who accompany their owners camping, boating, fishing, hiking, visiting dense forest areas or any park or preserve with tall grass. Lyme disease is spread by ticks and can not be transmitted directly from a person to an animal or vise versa without a tick as the interim host. Lyme disease causes arthritis symptoms, eventually leads to kidney disease and in rare cases can cause heart disease or neurologic issues. Signs may not appear for weeks or even months after a tick bite. While Lyme disease is not usually life-threatening and can be cured relatively easily with a short course of antibiotics, due to its prevalent nature in this region we recommend dogs be vaccinated especially if they are in the high-risk category. In addition to Lyme vaccination we also recommend flea and tick control ...

Lyme disease Prevention - Mayo ClinicLyme disease Prevention - Mayo Clinic
Its important to consult your doctor even if signs and symptoms disappear - the absence of symptoms doesnt mean the disease is gone. Left untreated, Lyme disease can spread to other parts of your body from several months to years after infection, causing arthritis and nervous system problems. Ticks also can transmit other illnesses, such as babesiosis and Colorado tick fever.. In the United States, Lyme disease is caused by Borrelia burgdorferi and Borrelia mayonii bacteria, carried primarily by blacklegged or deer ticks. The ticks are brown and, when young, often no bigger than a poppy seed, which can make them nearly impossible to spot.. To contract Lyme disease, an infected deer tick must bite you. The bacteria enter your skin through the bite and eventually make their way into your bloodstream. In most cases, to transmit Lyme disease, a deer tick must be attached for 36 to 48 hours. If you find an attached tick looks swollen, it may have fed long enough to transmit bacteria. Removing the ...

Many people with Lyme disease develop a characteristic bulls-eye rash at the site of the bite within three to thirty days. For these people, the disease can be easily diagnosed at an early stage. However, symptoms of Lyme disease are more difficult to detect in animals than in people.. The characteristic rash does not develop in dogs or cats. Because the other symptoms of the disease may be delayed or go unrecognized and because the symptoms are similar to those of many other diseases, Lyme disease in animals is often not considered until other diseases have been eliminated.. Many dogs affected with Lyme disease are taken to a veterinarian because they seem to be experiencing generalized pain and have stopped eating. Affected dogs have been described as if they were walking on eggshells. Often these pets have high fevers. Dogs may also begin limping.

Lyme disease is a multisystem tick-borne disorder with dermatologic, neurologic, and rheumatologic manifestations (3, 26, 29). The disease represents the most common vector-borne illness in the Northern Hemisphere and is caused by human-pathogenic members of the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex, including B. burgdorferi sensu stricto, B. garinii, B. afzelii, and the very recently established species B. spielmanii (22, 28). Isolates belonging to the newly delineated genospecies B. spielmanii have hitherto been isolated from patients in The Netherlands, Hungary, Slovenia, and Germany as well as from ticks in France, Germany, Ukraine, and the Czech Republic (6-8, 18, 19, 23, 25, 28). The heterogeneity of borrelial strains is known to impact the variability of Lyme disease manifestations and clearly is a challenge for the development of diagnostic tests and vaccines (7). Moreover, minor differences in the antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of the classical borrelial genospecies known to be ...

Figure - Evolution of Northeastern and Midwestern Borrelia burgdorferi, United States - Volume 16, Number 6-June 2010 -...
The per capita incidence of human Lyme disease in the northeastern United States is more than twice that in the Midwest. However, the prevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterium that causes Lyme disease, in the tick vector is nearly identical in the 2 regions. The disparity in human Lyme disease incidence may result from a disparity in the human invasiveness of the bacteria in the Northeast and Midwest caused by fundamentally different evolutionary histories. B. burgdorferi populations in the Northeast and Midwest are geographically isolated, enabling evolutionary divergence in human invasiveness. However, we found that B. burgdorferi populations in the Northeast and Midwest shared a recent common ancestor, which suggests that substantial evolutionary divergence in human invasiveness has not occurred. We propose that differences in either animal ecology or human behavior are the root cause of the differences in human incidence between the 2 regions.

Survival of Borrelia burgdorferi in antibiotically treated patients with Lyme borreliosis.
The persistence of Borrelia burgdorferi in patients treated with antibiotics is described. The diagnosis of Lyme disease is based on clinical symptoms, epidemiology and specific IgG and IgM antibody titers to B. burgdorferi in serum. Antibiotic therapy may abrogate the antibody response to the infection as shown in our patients. B. burgdorferi may persist as shown by positive culture in MKP-medium; patients may have subclinical or clinical disease without diagnostic antibody titers to B. burgdorferi. We conclude that early stage of the disease as well as chronic Lyme disease with persistence of B. burgdorferi after antibiotic therapy cannot be excluded when the serum is negative for antibodies against B. burgdorferi ...

LYME DISEASE - Lincolnton Animal HospitalLYME DISEASE - Lincolnton Animal Hospital
Lyme disease is a zoonotic (infections that can be spread between animals and humans or vice versa), tick borne disease that affects people, dogs, and some large animals. It is caused by a bacterium, Borrelia burgdorferi, which is transmitted by Ixodes ticks. The adult ticks and the immature, nymph stage of the tick, can transmit disease. The nymph stage is the size of a poppy seed! Something this small could be missed on your pet or on yourself for that matter. Signs in dogs are typically seen in 2 to 5 months after infection. Common signs in dogs include fever and painful/swollen joints. Dogs can also have vomiting, anorexia, uveitis, pulmonary hemorrhage, and abortion. There is also an association with Lyme disease and renal (kidney) failure (Lyme nephritis). Dogs can be tested for Lyme disease. This can be done as a screening test or can be done if a dog is showing any signs of the disease. Infected dogs that are showing signs or have other abnormal lab results can be treated with certain ...

You need two shots a month apart, and then a third one a year later. It may be hard to remember to get the third shot, but it significantly boosts immunity. Its only common side effect appears to be a little redness and soreness at the injection site. The three shots have been shown to prevent Lyme disease in anywhere from 68 to 92% of people (without the third shot, this drops to about 50%). Like most vaccines, this one produces antibodies in the blood that recognize and kill an invading microorganism--in this case the bacterium that causes Lyme disease.

Currently we do not recommend vaccinating all dogs against Lyme disease. Lyme disease vaccines are given to dogs that we feel are at high risk for the disease. Lyme disease is transmitted via ticks, so tick prevention is very important in reducing the chance of the disease. Many other diseases are also transmitted by ticks, so keep on those preventatives.

PNNL: News - Unique spinal fluid proteins found in chronic fatigue, post Lyme disease syndrome patientsPNNL: News - Unique spinal fluid proteins found in chronic fatigue, post Lyme disease syndrome patients
RICHLAND, Wash. - Chronic fatigue syndrome knocks people down with a debilitating fatigue, but researchers have yet to identify an underlying cause. Now, scientists examining the complement of proteins in spinal fluid have found that CFS patients carry a subset of proteins unique to their spinal fluid, compared to healthy volunteers. Included in the subset are proteins implicated in Alzheimers and Parkinsons diseases, supporting the idea that CFS has an underlying neurological cause.. In addition, the team also looked at people who had not fully recovered from Lyme disease after treatment, under the assumption that the two conditions are related because they have similar symptoms. Patients with this lingering Lyme disease, known as neurologic post treatment Lyme disease, shared some proteins in common with CFS patients - such as those involved in inflammation. But the two illnesses also had sets of proteins unique to each condition. The team, led by Steven E. Schutzer of the University of ...

Lyme Disease Spreads as Humans Unravel the Web of Life? | Blue VirginiaLyme Disease Spreads as Humans Unravel the Web of Life? | Blue Virginia
A few days ago I received a shocking email from Mike Tidwell, Executive Director of the Chesapeake Climate Action Network (CCAN). Subject line: Mike diagnosed with Lyme Disease.. Oh no! As a CCAN board member, I knew that Mike had been dealing with miserable, flu-like symptoms, joint pain, and muscle stiffness for sometime. I felt terrible to learn this news. Lyme Disease is a frightening illness that is hard to cure and sometimes leaves lasting damage. I felt sad to think of this prospect for Mike. In addition to being a great guy, Mike is an inspiration to climate activists in the mid-Atlantic region, where CCAN operates, and beyond. One of the most dedicated climate warriors I know, Mike is also an effective organizer, writer, speaker, and fundraiser. He is a mentor to a great many of us, and we need him to be healthy!.

Magnesium Deficiency Due to Lyme Disease: What You Need to KnowMagnesium Deficiency Due to Lyme Disease: What You Need to Know
Magnesium deficiency has been called a symptom of Lyme disease by some, although the lack of the essential mineral is quite common. Conversely, a magnesium deficiency might intensify Lyme disease symptoms. Replenishing the body with magnesium could help relieve the effects of Lyme disease.

DPH: A Brief History of Lyme Disease in ConnecticutDPH: A Brief History of Lyme Disease in Connecticut
A Brief History of Lyme Disease in Connecticut Abstract: The history of Lyme disease in Connecticut began in 1975 when a cluster of children and adults residing in the Lyme, Connecticut area experienced uncommon arthritic symptoms (1976 circular letter). By 1977, the first 51 cases of Lyme arthritis were described, and the Ixodes scapularis (black-legged) tick was linked to the transmission of the disease. ...

Dilated cardiomyopathy associated with Bb infection - LymeNet EuropeDilated cardiomyopathy associated with Bb infection - LymeNet Europe
It is suggested that Borrelia burgdorferi infection could be associated with dilated cardiomyopathy (IDC). Stanek et al. were able to cultivate Borrelia burgdorferi from myocardial biopsy tissue of a patient with longstanding dilated cardiomyopathy. Here we present a study in which we examined the effect of standard antibiotic treatment on the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy associated with Borrelia burgdorferi infection. In this study we assessed the serum (IgG, IgM Elisa) and history of 46 IDC patients with specific regard to Borrelia burgdorferi infection (mean LVEF 30.4 +/- 1.3%, measured by cardiac catheterization and echocardiography with the length-area-volume method). All 46 patients received standard treatment for dilated cardiomyopathy: ACE inhibitors, digitalis, and diuretics. Eleven (24%) patients showed positive serology and a history of Borrelia burgdorferi infection; nine of these also had a typical history of tick bite and ...

OBJECTIVE: To estimate long term survival, health, and educational/social functioning in patients with Lyme neuroborreliosis compared with the general population.. DESIGN: Nationwide population based cohort study using national registers.. SETTING: Denmark.. PARTICIPANTS: All Danish residents diagnosed during 1986-2016 as having Lyme neuroborreliosis (n=2067), defined as a positive Borrelia burgdorferi intrathecal antibody test and a clinical diagnosis of Lyme borreliosis, and a comparison cohort from the general population matched on sex and date of birth (n=20 670).. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Mortality rate ratios, incidence rate ratios of comorbidities, and differences in educational and social outcomes.. RESULTS: Mortality among patients with Lyme neuroborreliosis was not higher than in the general population (mortality rate ratio 0.90, 95% confidence interval 0.79 to 1.03). Lyme neuroborreliosis patients had increased risk of haematological (incidence rate ratio 3.07, 2.03 to 4.66) and ...

Prime time for Lyme disease in Pa. | The Ridgway Record
As spring moves into summer, Pennsylvania residents should take extra precautions to protect themselves from Lyme disease, a bacterial infection that can appear in humans, some mice, birds, deer and other animals from the bite of a deer tick. Rural Elk County is akin to paradise for ticks, with lots of high grass and leafy ground vegetation, their preferred habitat. Theyre not picky, though-- they also hang out in the woods and in backyards-- practically anywhere outdoors, something important to remember as people do yard chores, golf, hike, go to their camps or attend graduation parties and other celebrations held outside. Additionally, ticks affinity for catching a meal from white-footed mice and whitetail deer, and these animals proximity to human communities in turn presents a high risk level for humans getting a tick and consequently contracting Lyme. Ticks carry a spiral-shaped bacteria n their blood called a spirochete, which causes Lyme disease. They can be hard to spot, as adults ...

Borrelia (B.) burgdorferi sensu lato, including the tick-transmitted agents of human Lyme borreliosis, have particularly complex genomes, consisting of a linear main chromosome and numerous linear and circular plasmids. The number and structure of plasmids is variable even in strains within a single genospecies. Genes on these plasmids are known to play essential roles in virulence and pathogenicity as well as host and vector associations. For this reason, it is essential to explore methods for rapid and reliable characterisation of molecular level changes on plasmids. In this study we used three strains: a low passage isolate of B. burgdorferi sensu stricto strain B31(−NRZ) and two closely related strains (PAli and PAbe) that were isolated from human patients. Sequences of these strains were compared to the previously sequenced reference strain B31 (available in GenBank) to obtain proof-of-principle information on the suitability of next generation sequencing (NGS) library

Bacterial dissemination via the cardiovascular system is the most common cause of infection mortality. A key step in dissemination is bacterial interaction with endothelia lining blood vessels, which is physically challenging because of the shear stress generated by blood flow. Association of host cells such as leukocytes and platelets with endothelia under vascular shear stress requires mechanically specialized interaction mechanisms, including force-strengthened catch bonds. However, the biomechanical mechanisms supporting vascular interactions of most bacterial pathogens are undefined. Fibronectin (Fn), a ubiquitous host molecule targeted by many pathogens, promotes vascular interactions of the Lyme disease spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi Here, we investigated how B. burgdorferi exploits Fn to interact with endothelia under physiological shear stress, using recently developed live cell imaging and particle-tracking methods for studying bacterial-endothelial interaction biomechanics. We found ...

Lyme Disease And Your EyesLyme Disease And Your Eyes
Lyme disease is an infection that is caused by a spirochete (a type of microorganism) called Borrelia burgdorferi. It is transmitted to humans by the bite of a deer tick.. The disease has a strong geographical incidence, being highly concentrated in the Northeast United States and now also has a high incidence in Minnesota and Wisconsin.. Lyme disease was first discovered in Old Lyme, Connecticut in 1975. It can start with a characteristic bulls eye rash, in which there is a central spot that is surrounded by clear skin that is then ringed by an expanding rash. It can also appear just as an expanding rash.. This rash usually starts within days of the tick bite. Eye problems can occur along with this rash in the first phase of the disease. This includes red eyes that can look like full-blown pink eye, along with eyelid swelling. It also can produce iritis or uveitis, which include sensitivity to light and inflammation inside the eye.. The second phase of the disease usually starts within a few ...

VlsE Antibody 200-401-C33VlsE Antibody 200-401-C33
Variable Lipoprotein Surface-Exposed protein, or VlsE, is a lipoprotein on the surface of the Lyme Disease spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi, detectable during all its life stages. It can exist as many different isoforms. VlsE has variable regions (VRs) and invariable regions (IRs). Some IRs are anchored in the outer membrane of the bacteria and some are antigens exposed on the membrane surface. Replacement of the VR by Borrelia within days of being transferred to a mammalian host presents new surface antigens to the host immune system, and helps Borrelia avoid a strong reaction by host immune systems. The VlsE is apparently not modified as much in the tick or in the rodent vector, when compared to in the mammal host. Several putative envelope proteins of B. burgdorferi appear to be expressed only in the infected mammalian host. The VRs are antigenic, irregularly shaped loops on the bacterial surface which may help to hide both membrane-incorporated and surface portions of adjacent proteins from

The contribution of motility and chemotaxis in the Borrelia burgdorferi infectious life cycleThe contribution of motility and chemotaxis in the Borrelia burgdorferi infectious life cycle
Lyme disease has emerged as an increasing problem for people in the east and northeastern part of the United States. It can cause a chronic debilitating infection if left untreated and is difficult to diagnose. The illness is caused by an infection with the spirochete known as Borrelia burgdorferi. B. burgdorferi is a Gram-negative bacterium that is transmitted by ticks of the Ixodes genus. The primary carriers in regions of high Lyme disease incidence are Ixodes scapularis vector and white-footed Mus musculus rodents. B. burgdorferi is not known to produce common virulence factors such as toxins or capsules. Chemotaxis and motility are important for B. burgdorferi to cause infection and are considered as invasive attributes of this organism. Only a handful of studies have reported that non-chemotactic and non-motile B. burgdorferi mutants are unable to disseminate in hosts, and are, therefore, non-infectious in mice. Although motility and chemotaxis has been shown to be crucial for the ...

If there is one thing I have discovered in my own quest for recovery, it is the tendency of many to perhaps too quickly decide they have Lyme disease and that anyone who disagrees is part of a conspiracy to bury the entire Lyme controversy.. Only recently, I have been handed a very good piece of scholarship in the form of a primer for medical practitioners on Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME, CFS, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), which those who have studied it believe may sometimes be caused by Lyme disease, while other times, active Lyme disease may indeed be the problem. Thanks to their work, people suffering with the symptoms of Lyme disease and armed with this primer, may be able to get a Western Blot ordered by their MDs.. However, the work also points out the possibility that the symptoms you are suffering from may not be an active Burrelia burgdorferi infection. Do you want to get well? Dont shut the door on other possibilities ...

Bob Cowarts Blog: Governor of Vermont signs Lyme treatment bill accepting ILADS standard of care!Bob Cowarts Blog: Governor of Vermont signs Lyme treatment bill accepting ILADS standard of care!
Governor Peter Shumlin signed a bill Thursday aimed at giving doctors more latitude to treat long-term symptoms of tick-borne illnesses, which advocates lauded as a good first step.. We have one of the highest rates of Lyme disease in America, per capita, and what we know about Lyme disease is that if not detected early it is an extraordinarily debilitating disease that can uproot the life of an otherwise very healthy Vermonter, Shumlin said.. The number of confirmed cases of Lyme disease in Vermont grew from 11 in 2002 to 674 in 2013. Shumlin encouraged Vermonters to become educated about the symptoms of Lyme and check themselves regularly for ticks.. The law requires the state Board of Medical Practice to issue a memo saying that it wont censure clinicians for using alternative methods to treat patients with ongoing symptoms of Lyme and other related diseases.. Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses are typically treated upon diagnosis with a two- to four-week course of antibiotics, ...

Tick bite rash… It is well known that deer tick bites can cause lyme disease and the symptoms of lyme disease can include rashes appearing on the legs, neck, face, underarm, stomach and/or groin - but it depends where you were bitten. The dreaded allergic reaction like the bullseye rash can appear in childhood & adulthood and it is vital that you or your children get treatment as early as possible as lyme disease is best caught during the early stages. It is currently estimated that 70% of lyme disease cases are due to bites occurring during the early stage in the deer tick life cycle when the parasite is still a nymph. Check out the photo below to see what a nymph looks like close up. N.B. Remember that scabies is very different to lyme disease and is not caused by a tick or even a flea. This nasty skin infection is caused by the sarcoptes scabei mite and can be seen in humans and dogs. ...

Ticks and Tick-borne diseases in Ireland | Irish Veterinary Journal | Full TextTicks and Tick-borne diseases in Ireland | Irish Veterinary Journal | Full Text
Lyme borrelosis (LB), also referred to as Lyme disease, is caused by the spirochaete Borrelia burgdorferi sensu latu (s.l.). It is not only considered the most prevalent arthropod-borne human disease in Europe and the US [16], but its incidence appears to be on the increase [39], although it is unclear whether this is due to genuinely higher infection rates or improved medical awareness and diagnostics. The symptoms of LB are non-specific and often mimic other diseases. Erythema migrans which develops at the site of the bite or elsewhere is the most common clinical sign (observed in about 89% of cases) [39] and usually resolves within a number of weeks even without antibiotic treatment. However, dissemination of the pathogen to other organs and tissues can give rise to a variety of symptoms including neurological manifestations (3%), Lyme arthritis (5%), borrelial lymphocytoma (painless bluish red nodules on ear, nipple or scrotum) (2%), acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans (long-standing bluish ...

In the Lyme disease spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi, the outer membrane protein P66 is capable of pore formation with an atypical high single-channel conductance of 11 nS in 1 M KCl, which suggested that it could have a larger diameter than normal Gram-negative bacterial porins. We studied the diameter of the P66 channel by analyzing its single-channel conductance in black lipid bilayers in the presence of different nonelectrolytes with known hydrodynamic radii. We calculated the filling of the channel with these nonelectrolytes and the results suggested that nonelectrolytes (NEs) with hydrodynamic radii of 0.34 nm or smaller pass through the pore, whereas neutral molecules with greater radii only partially filled the channel or were not able to enter it at all. The diameter of the entrance of the P66 channel was determined to be \(\leq\)1.9 nm and the channel has a central constriction of about 0.8 nm. The size of the channel appeared to be symmetrical as judged from one-sidedness of addition ...
