Diverse Lyme disease spirochete species evade restriction by human complement

Maryna Golovchenko, Lucie Krätzerová, Heather MacTavish…·Nataliia Rudenko

This study evaluates how human complement sensitivity varies among 10 Borrelia burgdorferi s.l. genospecies and shows age and sex-dependent differences in complement-mediated killing.

Epigenetic responses in Borrelia-infected Ixodes scapularis ticks: Over-expression of euchromatic histone lysine methyltransferase 2 and no change in DNA methylation

Grace Hadley MacIntosh, Alexandra C. Nuyens, Jessica L. Vickery…·Vett K. Lloyd

This study examines epigenetic changes in Borrelia-infected ticks, finding increased EHMT2 expression but no change in DNA methylation of specific repeats.

Changes in the transcriptome and long non-coding RNAs but not the methylome occur in human cells exposed to Borrelia burgdorferi

Anne Berthold, Vett K. Lloyd

This study examines the transcriptome and methylome changes in human cells exposed to Borrelia burgdorferi, finding transcriptomic changes but no methylation changes.
