Borrelia is a genus of bacteria of the spirochete phylum. [1] Several species cause Lyme disease, also called Lyme borreliosis, a zoonotic, vector-borne disease transmitted by ticks. Other species of Borrelia cause relapsing fever, and are transmitted by ticks or lice, depending on the species of bacteria. [2]

Feb 7, 2023 · Abstract. Borrelia miyamotoi is an emerging tick-borne pathogen in the Northern Hemisphere and is the causative agent of Borrelia miyamotoi disease (BMD). Borrelia miyamotoi is vectored by the same hard-bodied ticks as Lyme disease Borrelia, yet phylogenetically groups with relapsing fever Borrelia, and thus, has been uniquely labeled a hard ...

May 16, 2019 · Borrelia biofilms have also been detected in human infected skin . The reoccurrence of the disease, the ability of spirochetes to evade the host immune system and the ability to resist antibiotic treatment strongly supports the existence of biofilm-like protective structures in infected patients.
Borrelia hermsii. (Davis, 1942) Steinhaus, 1946. Borrelia hermsii is a spirochete bacterium representing the endemic causative agent of tick-borne relapsing fever in eastern regions of North America (more specifically, the eastern United States, and British Columbia region of Canada). It is spread by the soft-bodied tick Ornithodoros hermsi.
