“…nov. is divided into an Asian and a European subpopulation. This is supported by reports that NT29 (and related) strains are transmitted by I. persulcatus (but not Ixodes ricinus) (reviewed by Korenberg et al, 2002), while European strains clearly utilize I. ricinus as vector (Hu et al, 2001). Substantiation of this hypothesis will require experimental evidence based on transmission studies.…”

Since the original description of Borrelia bavariensis sp. nov. in 2009, additional samples available from humans and ticks from Europe and Mongolia, respectively, have been used to further characterize Borrelia strains belonging to this group of spirochaetes that utilize rodents as reservoir hosts. These investigations suggested the presence of related strains in Europe and Asia and confirmed their status as representing a distinct species. Furthermore, samples that were investigated by researchers from China and Japan confirm the ecological relationship of members of this proposed species with rodents and suggest that it has a wide distribution in Eurasia. Here, we use phylogenetic and genetic distance analyses to validate B. bavariensis sp. nov. as a species within the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato species complex. The type strain is PBiT ( = DSM 23469T = BAA-2496T).

“…These ticks feed on more than 300 animal species, including large and small mammals, birds, and reptiles (15). In Asia, immature I. persulcatus commonly feed on voles, shrews, and birds, and adult ticks feed on virtually all larger animals, including hares, deer, and cattle (16). Because the Borrelia species differ in their resistance to complement-mediated killing, small rodents are important reservoirs for B. afzelii, B. bissettii, and Borrelia japonica, whereas birds are strongly associated with B. garinii, Borrelia valaisiana, and Borrelia turdi (17).…”

“…In the northeastern and midwestern United States, the primary tick species for human disease is Ixodes scapularis (the black-legged tick) and in the western states I. pacificus (the western black-legged tick) is the main agent of dissemination [41]. European and Asian Lyme disease agents are primarily transmitted by I. ricinus (the European sheep tick) and I. persulcatus (the taiga tick), respectively [42,43].…”

The spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi is a tick-borne obligate parasite whose normal reservoir is a variety of small mammals [1]. Whereas infection of these natural hosts does not lead to disease, infection of humans can result in Lyme disease, as a consequence of the human immunopathological response to B. burgdorferi [2,3]. Consistent with the pathogenesis of Lyme disease, bacterial products that allow B. burgdorferi to replicate and survive, rather than true "virulence factors," appear to be primarily what is required for the bacterium to cause disease in a susceptible host. In support of this idea, the genome sequence of B31, the type strain of B. burgdorferi sensu stricto [4,5], revealed that the bacterium lacks factors common to many bacterial pathogens, such as lipopolysaccharide, toxins, and specialized secretion systems. In this chapter, we will describe the basic biology of B. burgdorferi, and some of the bacterial components required to infect and survive in the mammalian and tick hosts.
