ABSTRACTComparative analysis ofospCgenes from 127Borrelia burgdorferisensu stricto strains collected in European and North American regions where Lyme disease is endemic and where it is not endemic revealed a close relatedness of geographically distinct populations.ospCalleles A, B, and L were detected on both continents in vectors and hosts, including humans. SixospCalleles, A, B, L, Q, R, and V, were prevalent in Europe; 4 of them were detected in samples of human origin. TenospCalleles, A, B, D, E3, F, G, H, H3, I3, and M, were identified in the far-western United States. FourospCalleles, B, G, H, and L, were abundant in the southeastern United States. Here we present the first expanded analysis ofospCalleles ofB. burgdorferistrains from the southeastern United States with respect to their relatedness to strains from other North American and European localities. We demonstrate thatospCgenotypes commonly associated with human Lyme disease in European and North American regions where the disease is endemic were detected inB. burgdorferistrains isolated from the non-human-biting tickIxodes affinisand rodent hosts in the southeastern United States. We discovered that someospCalleles previously known only from Europe are widely distributed in the southeastern United States, a finding that confirms the hypothesis of transoceanic migration ofBorreliaspecies.

Abstract Borrelia burgdorferi, the spirochete that causes Lyme disease, is endemic and widespread in Wisconsin. Research in the northeastern United States has revealed a positive association between Babesia microti, the main pathogen that causes babesiosis in humans, and Bo. burgdorferi in humans and in ticks. This study was conducted to examine associations between the disease agents in the Upper midwestern United States. Ixodes scapularis Say nymphs (N = 2,858) collected between 2015 and 2017 from nine locations in Wisconsin were tested for Babesia spp. and Borrelia spp. using real-time PCR. Two species of Babesia were detected; Ba. microti and Babesia odocoilei (a parasite of members of the family Cervidae). Prevalence of infection at the nine locations ranged from 0 to 13% for Ba. microti, 11 to 31% for Bo. burgdorferi sensu stricto, and 5.7 to 26% for Ba. odocoilei. Coinfection of nymphs with Bo. burgdorferi and Ba. odocoilei was detected in eight of the nine locations and significant positive associations were observed in two of the eight locations. The prevalence of nymphal coinfection with both and Bo. burgdorferi and Ba. microti ranged from 0.81 to 6.5%. These two pathogens were significantly positively associated in one of the five locations where both pathogens were detected. In the other four locations, the observed prevalence of coinfection was higher than expected in all but one site-year. Clinics and healthcare providers should be aware of the association between Ba. microti and Bo. burgdorferi pathogens when treating patients who report tick bites.
