Lyme disease, or borreliosis, is caused by spirochetal bacteria from the genus Borrelia, [1] which has 52 known species. Three species (Borrelia garinii, Borrelia afzelii, and Borrelia burgdorferi s.s.) are the main causative agents of the disease in humans, [2] while a number of others have been implicated as possibly pathogenic.
Borrelia miyamotoi is a bacterium of the spirochete phylum in the genus Borrelia. A zoonotic organism, B. miyamotoi can infect humans through the bite of several species of hard-shell Ixodes ticks, the same kind of ticks that spread B. burgdorferi , the causative bacterium of Lyme disease .
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 ]
Borrelia burgdorferi is a microaerophile, requiring small amounts of oxygen in order to undergo glycolysis and survive. Like all other Borrelia sps., this bacterium is also gram-negative and a spirochete. Borrelia colonies are often smaller, rounded, and white with an elevated center. [7] B. burgdorferi possesses flagella that allow it motility.
The Center Biological Diversity filed a lawsuit. And the group National Security Counselors , which advocates for transparency in national security issues, made a similar argument in another lawsuit.
Neuroborreliosis is often preceded by the typical symptoms of Lyme disease, which include erythema migrans and flu-like symptoms such as fever and muscle aches. Neurologic symptoms of neuroborreliosis include the meningoradiculitis (which is more common in European patients), cranial nerve abnormalities, and altered mental status.
