Mosquitoes and soft ticks cannot transmit Lyme disease spirochetesFranz-Rainer Matuschka
Abteilung Parasitologie, , Charit, , Germany
Parasitol Res 88:283-4. 2002
Relationships of a novel Lyme disease spirochete, Borrelia spielmani sp. nov., with its hosts in Central EuropeDania Richter
Abteilung Parasitologie, Institut fur Pathologie, Charite, Humboldt Universitat zu Berlin, Berlin, Germany
Appl Environ Microbiol 70:6414-9. 2004..Garden dormice serve as the main reservoir hosts of a novel genospecies, Borrelia spielmani sp. nov., one of several that cause Lyme disease in people...
"Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis," Anaplasma phagocytophilum, and lyme disease spirochetes in questing european vector ticks and in feeding ticks removed from peopleDania Richter
Abt Parasitologie, Institut fur Pathologie, Charite Universitatsmedizin Berlin, Berlin, Germany
J Clin Microbiol 50:943-7. 2012..Neoehrlichia mikurensis" appears to be the second most common pathogen in I. ricinus ticks. In our survey, only Borrelia afzelii appears to infect Central European vector ticks more frequently...
Absence of Lyme disease spirochetes in larval Ixodes ricinus ticksDania Richter
Abt Parasitologie, Institut fur Pathologie, Charite Universitatsmedizin Berlin, Berlin, Germany
Vector Borne Zoonotic Dis 12:21-7. 2012..No undisputable proof exists for vertical transmission of Lyme disease spirochetes, whereas B. miyamotoi appears to be readily passed between generations of vector ticks...
Differential risk for Lyme disease along hiking trail, GermanyDania Richter
Charite Universitatsmedizin Berlin, Berlin, Germany
Emerg Infect Dis 17:1704-6. 2011..Risk was significantly lower on pasture than on meadow and fallow land...
Reservoir competence of various rodents for the lyme disease Spirochete Borrelia spielmaniiDania Richter
Abteilung Parasitologie, Institut fur Pathologie, Charite Universitatsmedizin Berlin, Malteserstraße 74 100, 12249 Berlin, Germany
Appl Environ Microbiol 77:3565-70. 2011..Hazel dormice appeared to be extraordinarily competent as reservoir hosts for B. spielmanii. Because peridomestic rodents proved to be reservoir competent, urban foci of transmission of B. spielmanii may affect the health of townspeople...
Elimination of lyme disease spirochetes from ticks feeding on domestic ruminantsDania Richter
Abteilung Parasitologie, Institut fur Pathologie, Charite Universitatsmedizin Berlin, Malteserstrasse 74 100, 12249 Berlin, Germany
Appl Environ Microbiol 76:7650-2. 2010..Thus, the more subadult ticks are diverted from reservoir-competent hosts to zooprophylactic ruminants, the smaller the risk of infection by Lyme disease spirochetes is...
Modulatory effect of cattle on risk for lyme diseaseDania Richter
Charite Universitatsmedizin Berlin, Berlin, Germany
Emerg Infect Dis 12:1919-23. 2006..The presence of cattle limited the prevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi s.l., but not B. miyamotoi, in vector ticks. The reintroduction of traditional, nonintensive agriculture in central Europe may help reduce risk for Lyme disease...
Perpetuation of the Lyme disease spirochete Borrelia lusitaniae by lizardsDania Richter
Abt Parasitologie, Institut fur Pathologie, Charite Universitatsmedizin Berlin, Malteserstrasse 74 100, 12249 Berlin, Germany
Appl Environ Microbiol 72:4627-32. 2006..lusitaniae genospecies and resemble type strain PotiB2. At our central European study site, lizards, which were previously considered zooprophylactic for the agent of Lyme disease, appear to perpetuate B. lusitaniae...
Delineation of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato species by multilocus sequence analysis and confirmation of the delineation of Borrelia spielmanii sp. novDania Richter
Charite Universitatsmedizin Berlin, 12249 Berlin, Germany
Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 56:873-81. 2006..Our analysis confirmed the delineation of a novel species, Borrelia spielmanii sp. nov., previously known as 'Borrelia spielmani' Richter et al. 2004, with strain PC-Eq17N5T (=DSM 16813T = CIP 108855T) as the type strain...
Adaptation of diverse lyme disease spirochetes in a natural rodent reservoir hostDania Richter
Abteilung Parasitologie, Institut fur Pathologie, Charite, Medizinische Fakultat der Humboldt Universitat zu Berlin, 12249 Berlin, Germany
Infect Immun 72:2442-4. 2004..Borrelia afzelii, specializing in particular reservoir hosts, is better adapted to those hosts than is the more generalist genospecies B. burgdorferi sensu stricto...
Relapsing fever-like spirochetes infecting European vector tick of Lyme disease agentDania Richter
Institut fur Pathologie, Charite, Humboldt Universitat zu Berlin, Berlin, Germany
Emerg Infect Dis 9:697-701. 2003..Exposure risk for relapsing fever-like spirochetes is similar to that of certain Lyme disease genospecies. Although many persons may be bitten by ticks infected by relapsing fever-like spirochetes, health implications remain unknown...
Co-feeding transmission and its contribution to the perpetuation of the lyme disease spirochete Borrelia afzeliiDania Richter
Abteilung Parasitologie, Institut fur Pathologie, Charite, Humboldt University of Berlin, Malteserstrasse, Germany
Emerg Infect Dis 8:1421-5. 2002..afzelii depends largely on horizontal transmission of such pathogens from previously infected mice to noninfected larvae...

Spatial stratification of various Lyme disease spirochetes in a Central European siteDania Richter
Abt Parasitologie, Institut fur Pathologie, Charite Universitatsmedizin Berlin, Berlin, Germany
FEMS Microbiol Ecol 83:738-44. 2013..Evaluation of regional risk of infection by Lyme disease spirochetes should take the spatial effect of hosts into consideration, which stratify the distribution of specifically infected ticks on a small scale...

Parasitol Res 112:107-11. 2013..3 %). For pathogens which so rarely infect D. reticulatus ticks, this tick likely plays no epidemiologic vector role for either their enzootic transmission cycle in nature or their transmission to people...
