Lyme disease bacteria take cover in lymph nodes, study finds (UCD)

The bacteria that cause Lyme disease, one of the most important emerging
in the United States, appear to hide out in the lymph nodes,
triggering a significant immune response, but one that is not strong enough to
rout the infection, report researchers at the University of California, Davis.

Results from this groundbreaking study involving mice may explain why some
people experience repeated infections of Lyme disease. The study appears
online in the Public Library of Science Pathogens at:

“Our findings suggest for the first time that Borrelia burgdorferi, the
bacteria that cause Lyme disease in people, dogs and wildlife, have developed
a novel strategy for subverting the immune response of the animals they
infect,” said Professor Nicole Baumgarth, an authority on immune responses at
the UC Davis Center for Comparative Medicine.

“At first it seems counter intuitive that an infectious organism would choose
to migrate to the lymph nodes where it would automatically trigger an immune
response in the host animal,” Baumgarth said. “But B. burgdorferi have
apparently struck an intricate balance that allows the bacteria to both
provoke and elude the animal’s immune response.”
