Persistence of Borrelia burgdorferi in experimentally infected dogs after antibiotic treatmentR K Straubinger
James A Baker Institute for Animal Health, College of Veterinary Medicine, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York 14853, USA

Borrelia burgdorferi migrates into joint capsules and causes an up-regulation of interleukin-8 in synovial membranes of dogs experimentally infected with ticksR K Straubinger
James A Baker Institute for Animal Health, College of Veterinary Medicine, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York 14853, USA
Infect Immun 65:1273-85. 1997..burgdorferi occurs more by migration than by blood-borne spread. From these studies employing a canine model of B. burgdorferi infection, we conclude that IL-8 is involved in the pathogenesis of acute Lyme arthritis...
Borrelia burgdorferi induces the production and release of proinflammatory cytokines in canine synovial explant culturesR K Straubinger
James A Baker Institute for Animal Health, College of Veterinary Medicine, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York 14853, USA
Infect Immun 66:247-58. 1998....
Clinical manifestations, pathogenesis, and effect of antibiotic treatment on Lyme borreliosis in dogsR K Straubinger
James A Baker Institute for Animal Health, Ithaca, New York, USA
Wien Klin Wochenschr 110:874-81. 1998..In humans, the disease primarily affects the skin, large joints, and the nervous system days to months after infection. Data generated with appropriate animal model help to understand the fundamental mechanisms of the disease...
PCR-Based quantification of Borrelia burgdorferi organisms in canine tissues over a 500-Day postinfection periodR K Straubinger
James A Baker Institute for Animal Health, College of Veterinary Medicine, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York 14853, USA
J Clin Microbiol 38:2191-9. 2000..Only 1.6% of 576 blood samples of all dogs were positive for B. burgdorferi by PCR...
Status of Borrelia burgdorferi infection after antibiotic treatment and the effects of corticosteroids: An experimental studyR K Straubinger
James A Baker Institute for Animal Health, College of Veterinary Medicine, Cornell University, Ithaca NY, 14853, USA
J Infect Dis 181:1069-81. 2000..Viable spirochetes were not recovered from antibiotic-treated dogs. Two antibiotic-treated dogs showed histologic evidence of minimal lesions, whereas all control dogs had mild polyarthritis with periarteritis...
Helicobacter felis infection is associated with lymphoid follicular hyperplasia and mild gastritis but normal gastric secretory function in catsK W Simpson
College of Veterinary Medicine, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York 14853, USA
Infect Immun 68:779-90. 2000..These findings indicate that H. felis infection in cats induces lymphoid follicular hyperplasia, mild gastritis, and seroconversion, but is associated with normal gastric secretory function...
Helicobacter pylori infection in the cat: evaluation of gastric colonization, inflammation and functionK W Simpson
College of Veterinary Medicine, Cornell University, Ithaca NY 14853, USA
Helicobacter 6:1-14. 2001..The upregulation of IL-8 in infected cats was independent of cagA and picB. Our findings argue against a direct acid-suppressing effect of H. pylori on the gastric secretory-axis in chronically infected cats...

Department of Biomedical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853-6401, USA
J Comp Pathol 133:1-13. 2005..In 14/62 dogs, lymphoplasmacytic periarteritis and perineuritis were noted, resembling lesions found in human Lyme disease and syphilis, in which an underlying microangiopathy has been proposed...

Gene 236:273-80. 1999..Expression of the two canine IL-1alpha transcripts was also detected in synovial membranes and was coordinately up-regulated in response to Borrelia burgdorferi infection under both in-vitro and in-vivo conditions...
