  • The cellular immune response to murine lyme borreliosis 

    Lasky, Carrie Elizabeth (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
    Lyme disease is caused by the bacterial spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi. There are approximately 300,000 new cases of Lyme Disease reported in the United States each year. Individuals with Lyme disease often suffer from ...

  • Immune Mediators of Murine Lyme Arthritis 

    Cunningham, Anna Maria (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
    Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne disease in both the United States and Europe; however, its pathogenesis is incompletely understood. The studies described in this thesis aid in the elucidation of mechanisms ...

  • Lipid mediators in the development and resolution of experimental lyme arthritis 

    Blaho, Victoria Alison (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
    The focus of my graduate studies was to determine the contribution of members of the eicosanoid cascade, namely the cyclooxygenase enzymes, to the regulation of experimental Lyme arthritis pathology. Using COX-2-specific ...

  • Mechanisms of inflammation resolution in a murine model of Lyme arthritis 

    Jackson, Christa Danielle (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
    In some patients, Lyme arthritis persists despite antibiotic clearance of Borrelia burgdorferi, indicating an underlying defect in inflammation resolution mechanisms. In the murine model of Lyme arthritis (mLA), B. burgdorferi ...

  • The role of apoptosis during inflammation resolution in Lyme arthritis 

    Hilliard, Kinsey Alyss (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
    Experimental Lyme arthritis is induced by the infection of C3H mice with the spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi, and is a valuable model to study the regulation of inflammation during bacterial infection. While the lab has ...
