Om borreliose, co infeksjoner og smitte



Linker om smitte;


"A North Carolina State University researcher has discovered that bacteria transmitted by fleas–and potentially ticks–can be passed to human babies by the mother, causing chronic infections and raising the possibility of bacterially induced birth defects."

"We know that Borrelia can infect any part of the body. If the blood tests used by the public health service do not detect the bacteria effectively, it makes one wonder how many people have had their lives destroyed by a single blood transfusion. Borrelia is closely related to the deadly bacterium which causes syphilis, and we cannot exclude the possibility that Borrelia is also transmitted by sexual intercourse, acknowledge Morten Laane and Ivar Mysterud."

“Lyme spirochetes/DNA have been recovered from stored animal semen. Recovery of spirochete DNA from nursing mother's breast milk and unbilical cord blood by PCR (confirmed by culture/microscopy), have been found in samples"


"Tick-bourne Encephalitis from Eating Goat Cheese in a Mountain Region of Austria"

“Although no cases of Lyme disease have been linked to blood transfusion, scientists have found that the Lyme disease bacteria can live in blood from a person with an active infection that is stored for donation." 


"Tick secret revealed: Westchester researchers first to prove baby got babesiosis before birth"


"If pregnant women are infected, they sometimes pass Lyme disease to their unborn children. Some doctors believe other types of human-to-human transmission are possible but little is known for certain"

Dr. Breitschwerdt has also published research showing that Bartonella can be transmitted from a mother to her infant at birth."

"In contrast, untreated horses remained infected and capable of transmitting B. caballi using the same criteria."


"We prospectively identified several real-time PCR-positive blood donors, including an IFA-negative real-time PCR-positive donor, in an area highly endemic for B.microti."

"Recipients of components from B. microti-positive donors were infected via transfusion..."

"Current estimates of 70 cases of transfusion-transmitted Babesia microti, with 12 associated deaths, suggest that Babesia is a growing blood safety concern"

"Relapsing-fever borreliosis caused by Borrelia duttonii is a common cause of complications of pregnancy, miscarriage, and neonatal death in sub-Saharan Africa."

“…spirochetes were found in multiple organ systems in an infant who died shortly after birth from congenital heart disease”

Untreated, Lyme disease can be dangerous to your unborn child. Lyme disease that goes untreated can also cause you to have brain, nerve, spinal cord, and heart problems.”

Previously published individual case reports have suggested a possible association between gestational borreliosis and adverse pregnancy outcome…”

Pregnancy, Breastfeeding & Lyme Bibliography”

Transplacental transmission of Borrelia burgdorferi has been documented in several animal studies.”

We describe a case of human granulocytic ehrlichiosis that developed in a pregnant woman near term and was transmitted perinatally to her infant.”

Coinfection in humans with both the agent of human granulocytic ehrlichiosis and B. burgdorferi can be anticipated because ixodes ticks infected with the two organisms have been identified in several locales.”

"In addition to ticks, Lyme Disease may be carried and transmitted by fleas, mosquitoes and mites. Lyme Disease is not exclusively vector-borne. New theories suggest transmission could take place through the placenta/by contact with breast milk, blood, faecec, sex, raw food and salvia."
