One or both ends of the spirochete are usually hooked.

But over the centuries, man and the spirochete had learned to tolerate each other.

She put both hands on the counter and peered again at the spirochetes.

Years later, the spirochete's damage to the brain, heart and bones can appear.

From six to eight weeks later, the spirochete spreads silently through the blood to cause the second stage.

There is no test to detect the spirochete itself.

No one knows whether someone with a positive test could spread the spirochete even years after having the disease, though the chances seem slim.

While some antibiotics kill the Lyme spirochete, others are less effective.

This provides a protective environment where the spirochete can establish infection.

Experts have suggested that patients in the South may be infected with a different strain of the spirochete.

They also say the disease probably would not follow a seasonal pattern if the spirochete were transmitted in this way.

Also, scientists do not know how long it takes for a tick to transmit the spirochete to a human.

The Lyme spirochete can be isolated from blood, but only with difficulty.

On autopsy, the patient had spirochetes in her brain.

In the end it wasn't as bad as knowing your blood was full of spirochetes, which people used to live with for decades.

These lesions hold a high accumulation of spirochetes and are highly infectious.

They also express some different surface proteins from spirochetes.

Tissue samples from infected people or animals generally contain very few spirochetes, they say.

Women may fear pregnancy because the spirochete that causes the disease could damage an unborn child.

He stood there with the impurities of amateur H in his brain like spirochetes.

What sort of stain might work on spirochetes?

Although his conclusions were later shown to be erroneous, interest in the study of spirochetes was sparked.

An association has been found between the release of heat-stable proteins from spirochetes and the reaction.

In some areas, no ticks carry the spirochete, while in others up to 90 percent have it, he said.

In the laboratory, the spirochetes have infected experimental animals.
