Borrelia burgdorferi Outer Membrane Vesicles Contain Antigenic Proteins, but Do Not Induce Cell Death in Human Cells
Karvonen, Kati; Tammisto, Hanna; Nykky, Jonna; Gilbert, Leona (MDPI AG, 2022)Like many bacterial species, Borrelia burgdorferi, the pleomorphic bacterium that causes Lyme borreliosis, produces outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). Borrelial OMVs (BbOMVs) have been identified as containing virulence ... -
Distinctive Evasion Mechanisms to Allow Persistence of Borrelia burgdorferi in Different Human Cell Lines
Karvonen, Kati; Nykky, Jonna; Marjomäki, Varpu; Gilbert, Leona (Frontiers Research Foundation, 2021)Lyme borreliosis is a multisystemic disease caused by the pleomorphic bacteria of the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex. The exact mechanisms for the infection to progress into a prolonged sequelae of the disease are ... -
Effective killing of Borrelia burgdorferi in vitro with novel herbal compounds
Karvonen, Kati; Gilbert, Leona (University of Nagoya, 2018)Introduction: The tick-borne disease Lyme Borreliosis is caused by Borrelia bacteria. The disease can persist even after treatment with antibiotics, which is why other methods of treatment are needed. Herbal compounds and ... -
Unraveling the pleomorphic forms of Borrelia burgdorferi
Herranen, Anni (2014)Borrelia burgdorferi bakteeri on puutiaisten välittämän borrelioosin taudinaiheuttaja. Tämä tavanomaisesti spirokeettana esiintyvä bakteeri kykenee vaihtamaan muotoaan ympäristöolosuhteiden muuttuessa epäsuotuisiksi. ... -
Effects of rodent abundance on ticks and Borrelia: results from an experimental and observational study in an island system
Kiran, Nosheen; Brila, Ilze; Mappes, Tapio; Sipari, Saana; Wang, Yingying; Welsh, Erin; Kallio, Eva R. (BioMed Central, 2024)Background Lyme borreliosis is the most common tick-borne disease in Europe and is often caused by Borrelia afzelii, which is transmitted by Ixodes ricinus ticks. The prevalence and abundance of infected ticks fluctuate ...
