This study aimed to promote the standardization of an indirect, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the serological detection of B. anserina in Gallus gallusdomesticus. An aliquoted sera from vaccinated chicken with B. anserina antigen (GI), experimental infected chickens with B. anserina (GII)...
Borrelia burgdorferi, is the spirochete responsible for causing Lyme disease in man and different animals. Objective. Detect specific IgG type antibodies against Borrelia burgdorferi, in canines using the immunofluorescence technique and its correlation with other factors associated with Lyme disease. Me...
Abstract Small mammals play an essential role in the transmission and maintenance cycles of Borrelia spirochetes. In Chile, recent studies have characterized novel Borrelia genotypes in ticks collected from small mammals, a fact that suggests these vertebrates are hosts for spirochetes from this genus. C...
Abstract The aim of this study is to detect the presence of tick-borne agents of genera Rickettsia, Borrelia, Babesia, Ehrlichia and Anaplasma in ticks collected from native wild birds in the state of Rio de Janeiro. Birds were captured and observed carefully to find the ectoparasites. DNA detection of h...

Abstract INTRODUCTION: We investigated the occurrence of relapsing fever (RF) causing Borrelia genus spirochetes in synanthropic bats from the municipality of Maringá, Paraná, South of Brazil. METHODS: Tissue samples from the wings of bats were collected monthly from April 2013 to February 2014 and...
Resumen La babesiosis o "Fiebre de garrapatas" es una enfermedad febril y anemizante, producida en animales domésticos y salvajes y ocasionalmente en humanos por especies del genero Babesia, las cuales son protozoarios intraeritrocíticos. Se denomina ehrlichiosis y anaplasmosis a un grupo de infeccione...

Abstract This study aimed to perform a morphological, molecular and phylogenetic characterization of Borrelia theileri obtained from infected Rhipicephalus microplus in Brazil. Fifty engorged R. microplus females from cattle in the municipality of Seropédica, Rio de Janeiro, were analyzed for spirochet...
Borreliose aviária é uma doença septicêmica aguda, cosmopolita, que acomete diferentes espécies aviárias, sendo causada por Borrelia anserina Sakharoff, 1891. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi avaliar as alterações hematológicas em Gallus gallus domesticus experimentalmente infectados por B. a...
This work describes an attempt to transmit Borrelia anserina by Amblyomma cajannense. Chickens showing clinical spirochetosis were obtained following infestation by an infected Argas miniatus. Infected and uninfected SPF chickens were subsequently infested by Amblyomma cajannense larvae originated from a...
