    A Distinct Microbiome Signature in Posttreatment Lyme Disease Patients

    Most patients with acute Lyme disease are cured with antibiotic intervention, but 10 to 20% endure debilitating symptoms such as fatigue, neurological complications, and myalgias after treatment, a condition known as posttreatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS). The etiology of PTLDS is not understood, and objective diagnostic tools are lacking. PTLDS symptoms overlap several diseases in which patients exhibit alterations in their...

    An Entry-Triggering Protein of Ehrlichia Is a New Vaccine Candidate against Tick-Borne Human Monocytic Ehrlichiosis

    The incidence of tick-borne diseases has risen dramatically in the past two decades and continues to rise. Discovered in 1986 and designated a nationally notifiable disease in 1998 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, human monocytic ehrlichiosis, which is caused by the bacterium Ehrlichia chaffeensis, is one of the most prevalent, life-threatening,...

    Dissecting Flavivirus Biology in Salivary Gland Cultures from Fed and Unfed <em>Ixodes scapularis</em> (Black-Legged Tick)

    Dissecting Flavivirus Biology in Salivary Gland Cultures from Fed and Unfed Ixodes scapularis (Black-Legged Tick)

    Tick-borne flaviviruses (TBFVs) are responsible for more than 15,000 human disease cases each year, and Powassan virus lineage 2 (POWV-L2) deer tick virus has been a reemerging threat in North America over the past 20 years. Rapid transmission of TBFVs in particular emphasizes the importance of preventing tick bites, the difficulty in developing countermeasures to prevent transmission, and the importance of understanding TBFV infection...
