ABSTRACT Human infection by the spirochete Borrelia miyamotoi is a newly-recognized public health threat in the US and other parts of the world. Borrelia miyamotoi infection may require hospitalization, with symptoms that include high fever, joint and muscle pain, and meningoencephalitis. B. miyamotoi is spread by the bites of infected Ixodes spp. ticks, but almost nothing is known about how or where the bacterium colonizes its vector, or the dynamics of transmission. This proposal brings together an expert team of Borrelia and tick researchers, who will conduct a series of synergistic studies that will greatly expand understanding of B. miyamotoi transmission and infection mechanisms.

摘要 人类感染宫本疏螺旋体是美国新认识到的公共卫生威胁， 世界其他地方。Borrelia miyamotoi感染可能需要住院治疗，症状包括 高烧、关节和肌肉疼痛以及脑膜脑炎。B。宫本病毒是通过感染者的叮咬传播的 硬蜱属蜱，但几乎没有人知道如何或在哪里细菌殖民其载体，或 传输的动力学。这项提议汇集了一个由疏螺旋体和蜱研究人员组成的专家小组， 将进行一系列的协同研究，这将大大扩展对B的理解。宫本传动 感染机制。
