Its cells contain only four periplasmic flagella inserted at each end of the spirochaetes, differing from other " Borrelia " species.

This was an interesting revelation because it was previously assumed that the thermophilic, free-living spirochaetes gave rise to all extant spirochaetes.

Initially, antibiotics may cause a worsening of symptoms ( the Herxheimer reaction ), as spirochaetes are destroyed, which in part supports the diagnosis.

This process, called antigenic variation, allows the spirochaete to evade the host s immune response and cause relapsing episodes of fever and other symptoms.

In 1905, Fritz Schaudinn and Erich Hoffmann identified a spirochaete bacterium ( " Treponema pallidum " ) as the causative organism of syphilis.

Spirochaetes bacteria are diverse in their pathogenic capacity, the ecological niches that they inhabit, as well as molecular characteristics including GC content and genome size.

The Siberian accentor is parasitised by the taiga tick, which can host the spirochaete " Borrelia burgdorferi ", the cause of Lyme disease.

He then rejoined Georges Blanc at Institut Pasteur of Casablanca, where he did research on the transmission of typhus, sodoku, spirochaete, recurrent fevers.

A spirochaete antigen designated the " Borrelia " immunogenic protein A ( BipA ) has been identified in " B . turicatae ".
