What factors make the Lyme borreliosis system so successful?
Diverse interaction that occurs between spirochete, thetick vector and the host makes Borrelia an elusive pathogen!!!
TICK FACTOIDS
Approximately 900 tick species exists; 10% are of concern to humans.
All ticks are obligate, nonpermanent blood feeders; hosts include all terrestrial vertebrates.
Ticks are vectors of more kinds of microorganisms than any other arthropod taxon.
Worldwide distribution from arctic to antarctic.
The most important genera of hard ticks are:Amblyomma, Boophilus, Dermacentor,
Haemaphysalis, Hyalomma, Ixodes and Rhipicephalus.

Ticks, important as “maintenance” vectors of Borrelia burgdorferi
(usually non-human biting)
I. hexagonus, I. trianguliceps, I. uriae, H. concinna, –Europe
I. minor, I. affinis, I. dentatus, I. spinipalpis - USA
I. turdus, I. ovatus, I. columnae, I. tanuki – Japan
I. nipponensis –Korea, Japan
I. granulatus, I. monospinosus – China, Korea
I. moschiferi, H. concinna, H. longicornis, H. bispinosa - China
In some areas maintenance vectors appear to be more important in the enzootic cycle of B. burgdorferi s.l. than the ‘bridge’ vectors that feed on the same hosts and bite humans
(Oliver, 1996).

Reservoir hosts of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato
Efficient reservoir hosts of B. burgdorferi s.l. share several characteristics.
They are abundant, large number of them is naturally infected and serves as hosts to numerous vector competent ticks.
They do not usually become resistant to repeated tick feeding.
They are readily infected and remain infected and infective to competent tick vectors for long periods of time, often for life.
Lyme disease spirochetes infect diverse animal species, but not all of them serve as competent hosts.
Reservoir Hosts- mammals; -rodents; -birds; -lizards;

Expanding complex of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato spirochetes
Currently known spirochete species from the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex
Spirochete species from the B. burgdorferi sensu lato complex involved in LB worldwide
Altering the level of gene expression in response to changes in temperature, pH, salts, nutrient
content, host and vector dependent factors spirochetes developed strategies to sense and
survive in these diverse environments, often changing their phenotypes….

New species from B. burgdorferi sensu lato complex

Main migration flyways
The Atlantic Flyway is a bird migration route that generally follows the Atlantic Coast of North America and the Appalachian Mountains.
The migration route tends to narrow considerably in the southern U.S.A. in the states of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. It serves as avian superhighway’s for 500 +
bird species and millions of individual birds.

Ogden et al., 2011
Rudenko et al., 2013
Some spirochete complexes were believed to be restricted:
exclusively to North America - B1, C, D, F, G, H, I, J, N, and U –
OR
exclusively to Europe:- B2, S, L, Q, and V-
three ospC types - A, E, and K- were previously detected on both continents
Geographic distribution of rare ospC allele in N. America
A significant spatial cluster of ticks infected with B. burgdorferi carrying rare allele L was detected in Canada and in the southeastern USA (indicated by the black ellipses)

B. burgdorferi sensu stricto detected in A. americanum ticksin the southeastern United States
A hypothesis for the migration route of Borrelia between the continents was proposed and the first evidences of trans-oceanic dispersals of B. burgdorferi sensu stricto were presented almost 15 years ago.
(Foretz et al., 1997; Ras et al., 1997; Postic et al., 1999; Marti et al., 1997; Qiu et al., 2008).
The worldwide distribution of Borrelia is supported by long-distance transmission of infected ticks by migrating hosts.
