Spirochaetes

An electron photomicrograph of two spiral-shaped Treponema pallidum bacteria.Created: 1969

Under a magnification of 201X, this scanning electron micrographic (SEM) image depicted a dorsal view of an unidentified engorged female tick, which had been extracted from the skin of a pet cat while in the process of obtaining its blood meal. Note the presence of some of the cat’s fur, along with some of its skin tissue in which the tick’s gnathosoma were still embedded. See PHIL 9972 and 9973 for additional, less magnified views of this scenario. It is from the basis capituli that the two spread pedipalps, and hidden skin-piercing hypostome and chelicerae emanate. On the dorsal surface of the basis capituli you’ll see two depressed areas known as the porose areas, through which secretions produced by dermal glands are released.Created: 2006

Treponema pallidum, darkfield preparation.Created: 1971

Under a low magnification of 100X, this scanning electron micrographic (SEM) image depicted a dorsal view of an unidentified engorged female tick, which had been extracted from the skin of a pet cat while in the process of obtaining its blood meal. Note the presence of some of the cat’s fur, along with some of its skin tissue in which the tick’s gnathosoma were still embedded.

Description: English: Using darkfield microscopy technique, this photomicrograph, magnified 400x, reveals the presence of spirochaete, or "corkscrew-shaped" bacteria known as Borrelia burgdorferi, which is the pathogen that causes Lyme disease.

B. burgdorferi alters the proteins expressed on its outer surface, depending on the state of each host. Here, we used immunofluorescent antibodies to identify spirochetes that express outer surface protein D (yellow and red) and merged the image with an image of all the spirochetes labeled with an anti-B. burgdorferi antibody (green).
