Les lâchers massifs de Faisans de Colchide contribueraient à la propagation des bactéries responsables de la maladie de Lyme.
La probabilité que les tiques soient infectées était 2,45 fois plus élevée dans les bois avec lâchers !

Alors la période d'activité des tiques est maximale entre le printemps et l'automne, une étude a montré que les lâchers de faisans augmenteraient le nombre de ces arthropodes et donc la propagation des bactéries responsables de la maladie de Lyme.

In the Pskov region, a borreliosis tick bit into the eye of a six-year-old girl.

New genetic analysis of Lyme disease-causing bacteria could improve diagnosis and treatment A genetic analysis of Lyme disease bacteria may pave the way for improved diagnosis, treatment and prevention of the tick-borne ailment. https://phys.org/news/2024-08-genetic-analysis-lyme-disease-bacteria.html
Borrelia – Relapsing Fevers
#Bacteria, #Borrelia, #RelapsingFever #Bacteriology Several Borrelia sp. Are capable of causing epidemic or tick borne relapsing fever. These sp. Include B. duttoni, B. hermsii, B. parkeri and B. turicatae.…. Medical Microbiology & Recombinant DNA Technology (RDT) Labs | Read More -

Oh ffs. Just found another one..
And attached a photo (own work, some years ago) of what a #Lyme / #Borrelia infection looks like. Days to weeks after an infection (#tick bite) this circle can appear anywhere on the body (thus not only where the tickhole was). It will fade out in a day or two but that means the infection is in your body: go to your doctor and get antibiotics!
Someone mentioned #TBE as well. This is now endemic in many european regions. And there's a vaccin! Worth looking into.

Host factors may regulate acquisition of vector-borne pathogens during blood feeding. This study shows that the mammalian host adipocyte-derived hormone adiponectin alters acquisition of the Lyme disease agent by changing the level of inflammation at the site of the tick bite.

Über 4% der Kinder in Deutschland hatten messbaren Immunkontakt mit #Borrelia burgdorferi. Ältere Kinder häufiger als jüngere.
Weitere bevölkerungsrepräsentative Studien sind wichtig, um zeitliche Trends (evtl. auch durch Klimafaktoren) erkennen zu können.

A study looks at the mechanisms behind genetic variation in the bacteria that cause Lyme disease. Lyme disease is the most common vector-transmitted disease in the United States, with around 476,000 human cases annually. Most Lyme disease is caused by the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb), which is transmitted by ticks and can infect a wide range of mammals and birds.
