Insight into the Pathogenesis of Lyme Disease
Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne disease in the United States and Europe, caused by a tick-borne spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi. Life cycle alternation between arthropod and mammals enhanced B. burgdorferi to adapt to two diverse niches. Although B. burgdorferi infection in these reservoir hosts appears asymptomatic, infection in human can typically cause inflammation in the skin,...

متن کاملBacterial pathogenesis: A variation on variation in Lyme disease
The discovery of antigenic variation in Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterium that causes Lyme disease, provides a potential explanation for the chronic nature of infection as well as new insights into the genetic structure of highly recombinogenic loci responsible for combinatorial genetic diversification.
متن کاملReport of a case of Lyme disease in Mazandaran
Lyme disease is caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi. Depending on the stage of illness, infection may be limited to the skin or involve the cardiac, nervous and musculoskeletal systems. Herein, we report a case of Lyme disease in a 23-year-old woman from North of Iran (Mazandaran) in early-localized stage of erythema chronicum migrans. The diagnosis was confirmed by the presence of se...
