By-degree Health and Economic Impacts of Lyme Disease, Eastern and Midwestern United States
AbstractLyme disease (LD) is the most common vector-borne disease in the United States (U.S.). This paper assesses how climate change may influence LD incidence in the eastern and upper Midwestern U.S. and the associated economic burden. We estimated futureIxodes scapularis habitat suitability and LD incidence with a by-degree approach using variables from an ensemble of multiple climate models. We then applied estimates for present-day and projected habitat suitability forI. scapularis, present-day presence ofBorrelia burgdorferi, and projected climatological variables to model reported LD incidence at the county level am...

Screening Marine Microbial Metabolites as Promising Inhibitors of Borrelia garinii : A Structural Docking Approach towards Developing Novel Lyme Disease Treatment
In this study, we employed structural docking-based screening to identify potential lead-like inhibitors against the bacterium. We first identified the core essential genome fraction of the bacterium, using 37 strains. Later, we screened a library of lead-like marine microbial metabolites (n = 4730) against the arginine deiminase (ADI) protein of Borrelia garinii. This protein plays a crucial role in the survival of the bacteria, and inhibiting it can kill the bacterium. The prioritized lead compounds demonstrating favorable binding energies and interactions with the active site of ADI were then evaluated for their drug-li...

Surveillance for Ixodes scapularis and Ixodes pacificus ticks and their associated pathogens in Canada, 2020
CONCLUSION: This article provides a snapshot of the distribution of I. scapularis and I. pacificus and their associated human pathogens in Canada in 2020, which can help assess the risk of exposure to tick-borne pathogens in different provinces.PMID:38444700 | PMC:PMC10914093 | DOI:10.14745/ccdr.v49i06a06 (Source: Can Commun Dis Rep)
