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 ]
Baranton et al. 1992. Borrelia burgdorferi is a gram-negative [1] bacterial species of the spirochete class in the genus Borrelia, and is one of the causative agents of Lyme disease in humans. [2][3] Along with a few similar genospecies, some of which also cause Lyme disease, it makessui up the species complex of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato.
Lyme disease, also known as Lyme borreliosis, is a tick-borne disease caused by species of Borrelia bacteria, transmitted by blood-feeding ticks in the genus Ixodes. [4][9][10] The most common sign of infection is an expanding red rash, known as erythema migrans (EM), which appears at the site of the tick bite about a week afterwards. [1] .
Lyme disease is a multi-system bacterial infection caused by the spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi, which is transmitted to humans primarily through the bite of an infected deer tick.
Lyme Disease. Lyme disease is caused by Borrelia bacteria spread to people by the bite of an infected blacklegged tick.
Borreliosis, also known as Lyme disease, is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi and is transmitted to humans by the bite of infected ticks. Ticks become infected when they feed on birds or mammals that carry the bacterium in their blood.
Lyme disease is a bacterial illness transmitted to humans through the bite of infected ticks. The disease is caused by bacteria in the family Borreliaceae, particularly Borrelia (Borreliella) burgdorferi s.l. Ticks become infected by feeding on animals that carry the bacteria in their blood.
