| a novel relapsing fever borrelia sp. infects the salivary glands of the molted hard tick, amblyomma geoemydae. | a novel relapsing fever borrelia sp. was found in amblyomma geoemydae in japan. the novel borrelia sp. was phylogenetically related to the hard (ixodid) tick-borne relapsing fever borrelia spp. borrelia miyamotoi and b. lonestari. the novel relapsing fever borrelia sp. was detected in 39 a. geoemydae (39/274: 14.2%), of which 14 (14/274: 5.1%) were co-infected with the novel relapsing fever borrelia sp. and borrelia sp. tag, one of the reptile-associated borreliae. transstadial transmission of t ... | 2012 | 22910061 |
| characterization of reptile-associated borrelia sp. in the vector tick, amblyomma geoemydae, and its association with lyme disease and relapsing fever borrelia spp. | the genus borrelia is arthropod-borne infectious agents in vertebrates, and is classified into lyme disease (ld) borrelia spp. and relapsing fever (rf) borrelia spp. in addition to these borrelia groups, we recently reported reptile-associated (rep) borrelia spp. from reptiles and from hard-bodied ticks, which probably transmitted the rep borrelia spp. in this study, we investigated the presence of rep borrelia sp. in moulted ticks, and found that trans-stadial transmission of rep borrelia sp. o ... | 2011 | 23761345 |
