Detection of Borrelia burgdorferi DNA in tick feces provides evidence for organism shedding during vector feeding.

Vector borne and zoonotic diseases (Larchmont, N.Y.) - 1 Mar 2011

Patton Toni G, Dietrich Gabrielle, Gilmore Robert D

Abstract excerpt

Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterium that causes Lyme disease, is transmitted to a susceptible host by Ixodes spp. tick bites. However, there is uncertainty whether B. burgdorferi are shed from ticks by the fecal route. In this study, B. burgdorferi-infected ticks were fed on mice while confined t...
