Genomic and structural analysis of major antigenic proteins' variability in the human relapsing fever spirochete Borrelia persica.
Antigenic variation in TBRF #Borrelia preserves Vlp structure despite sequence diversity.

I wonder how effective these guys would be against ticks...

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.

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.
