Copulation of < em > Ixodes ricinus < /em > males and females on the host and its potential impact on pathogen transmission
CONCLUSIONS: By increasing the feeding dynamics in females, the copulation of I. ricinus males with females attached to the host's skin may stimulate pathogen replication in tick tissues and migration from the gut to the salivary glands. Further investigations of the I. ricinus copulation on the host on female feeding and pathogen transmission may contribute to the elucidation of the eco-epidemiology of tick-borne diseases transmitted by this tick species.PMID:38153063 | DOI:10.26444/aaem/174105 (Source: Annals of Agricultural and Environmental Medicine : AAEM)

Rituximab leading to an atypical presentation of neuroborreliosis and false negative serology
Pract Neurol. 2023 Dec 22:pn-2023-003976. doi: 10.1136/pn-2023-003976. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTwo patients, recently treated with the B-cell-depleting monoclonal antibody, rituximab, had 2-3 months of progressive systemic symptoms; comprehensive investigations did not clarify the diagnosis. Transient radicular pain at disease onset had suggested neuroborreliosis, but seronegativity and an atypical clinical course made this unlikely. However, PCR identified Borrelia burgdorferi DNA in cerebrospinal fluid, establishing the diagnosis of neuroborreliosis. Both the clinical picture and the laboratory findings can be atyp...
