Relapsing Fever Spirochete in Seabird Tick, Japan
Phylogenetic analysis based on A) the 16S ribosomal RNA gene (16SrRNA) and B) flagellin gene of Borrelia spp. Representative Borrelia spp. were used. GenBank accession numbers are in parentheses. For the amplification and direct sequencing of 16SrRNA, the 4 PCR primers rrs-F1 (5′-ATAACGAAGAGTTTGATCCTGGCT-3′), rrs-F2 (5′-GGTGTAAGGGTGGAATCTGTTG-3′), rrs-R3 (5′-TTTCGTGACTCAGCGTCAGT-3′), and rrs-R4...

متن کاملSpirochete-platelet attachment and thrombocytopenia in murine relapsing fever borreliosis.
Thrombocytopenia is common in persons infected with relapsing fever Borreliae. We previously showed that the relapsing fever spirochete Borrelia hermsii binds to and activates human platelets in vitro and that, after platelet activation, high-level spirochete-platelet attachment is mediated by integrin alpha IIb beta 3, a receptor that requires platelet activation for full function. Here we est...
متن کاملHumans Infected with Relapsing Fever Spirochete Borrelia miyamotoi, Russia
Borrelia miyamotoi is distantly related to B. burgdorferi and transmitted by the same hard-body tick species. We report 46 cases of B. miyamotoi infection in humans and compare the frequency and clinical manifestations of this infection with those caused by B. garinii and B. burgdorferi infection. All 46 patients lived in Russia and had influenza-like illness with fever as high as 39.5°C; relap...
متن کاملThe spirochete Borrelia crocidurae causes erythrocyte rosetting during relapsing fever.
Several species of the genus Borrelia exhibit antigenic variation of variable major proteins on their surface during relapsing fever. We have investigated the African relapsing fever species Borrelia crocidurae during infections in mice and compared it with the thoroughly studied North American species Borrelia hermsii. A major difference between the two species is that B. crocidurae can bind a...
