    Abstract The study of lepton flavor universality violation (LFUV) in semitauonic $b$-hadron decays has become increasingly important in light of longstanding anomalies in their measured branching fractions, and the very large datasets anticipated from the LHC and Belle II. In this review, we undertake a comprehensive survey of the experimental environments and methodologies for semitauonic LFUV measurements at the $B$-factories and LHCb, along with a concise overview of the theoretical foundations and predictions for a wide range of semileptonic decay observables. We proceed to examine the future prospects to control systematic uncertainties down to the percent level, matching the precision of Standard Model (SM) predictions. Furthermore, we discuss new perspectives and caveats on combinations of the LFUV data and revisit the world averages for the ${\cal R}(D^{(*)})$ ratios. Here we demonstrate that different treatments for the correlations of uncertainties from $D^{**}$ excited states can vary the current $3\sigma$ tension with the SM within a $1\sigma$ range. Prior experimental overestimates of $D^{**}\tau\nu$ contributions may further exacerbate this. The precision of future measurements is also estimated; their power to exploit full differential information, and solutions to the inherent difficulties in self-consistent new physics interpretations of LFUV observables, are briefly explored.

    Abstract Recombinant outer surface protein A (OspA) of Borrelia burgdorferi is a highly protective immunogen for prevention of Lyme disease in experimental animals. Humoral immunity is sufficient for protection. The principal mechanism of action is prevention of transmission of the spirochete from tick to host. A recombinant OspA vaccine has been licensed for use in dogs. The recent licensure of an OspA vaccine for humans resulted from a critical analysis of recently completed efficacy studies.

    Abstract A 44-kDa major outer membrane protein of the human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE) agent is an immunodominant antigen in human infection. A gene encoding this protein was cloned and sequenced. Southern blot results revealed the existence of multigenes homologous to the P44 gene in the genome of the HGE agent. The recombinant 44-kDa protein (rP44) was expressed by using expression vector pET30a. The reactivity of the affinity-purified rP44 was evaluated by Western immunoblot analysis and dot blot immunoassay. Western immunoblot analysis showed that mouse anti-rP44 serum reacted with 44- to 42-kDa proteins in six different HGE agent strains tested except strain 2, in which three proteins of 42, 40, and 38 kDa were recognized. Eleven HGE patient serum samples, a horse anti-HGE serum, and a horse anti-Ehrlichia equi serum recognized the rP44 protein. This suggests that rP44 is an HGE-E. equi group-specific antigen. Neither human anti-Ehrlichia chaffeensis serum nor rabbit anti-Borrelia burgdorferi serum reacted with rP44. Sera from two patients coinfected with the HGE agent and B. burgdorferi reacted positively with rP44 and the HGE agent. Sera from 20 HGE patients with indirect fluorescent-antibody (IFA) titers ranging from 1:20 to 1:2,560 gave distinct positive reactions in a dot immunoblot assay. There was a positive correlation between the color densities of the dot reactions and the IFA titers when greater than 50 ng of recombinant antigen per dot was used. The use of the affinity-purified rP44 protein as antigen would provide a more specific, consistent, and simpler serodiagnosis for HGE than the use of whole infected cells or purified HGE agents.

    Abstract Co-infection with human T-lymphotropic virus types I or II (HTLV-I or -II) may be a cofactor in the progression of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. We assessed the frequency of simultaneous infection with these retroviruses among intravenous drug users from Westchester County, N.Y., a suburb of New York City. Comparison was made with similar studies in the United States and Europe.

    Abstract Antibiotic therapy is recommended for all forms of neuroborreliosis. Although stage 2 neuroborreliosis will usually resolve without any treatment, antibiotic therapy has been associated with faster resolution of symptoms and may prevent additional non-neurologic disease manifestations. Ceftriaxone is the most convenient parenteral agent for stage 2 and 3 neuroborreliosis because of its once-daily dosage. Available data indicate that a 2-4-week treatment course is adequate for most patients. Patients with isolated seventh nerve palsy may be treated with an oral agent (for example, doxycycline). Recombinant outer surface protein A of Borrelia burgdorferi is a highly protective immunogen for prevention of Lyme disease in experimental animals. Humoral immunity is sufficient for protection. A recombinant OspA vaccine has been licensed for prevention of Lyme disease in dogs. Licensure of an OspA vaccine for humans will depend on a critical analysis of the results of recently completed efficacy studies.

    Abstract Unanswered questions in the management of patients with Lyme disease or those who have had Ixodes tick bites include: Is antimicrobial therapy effective in preventing Lyme disease during the incubation period of the infection? Which oral agents are most effective in treatment of Lyme disease? Are macrolides efficacious? And, for how long a time period should antimicrobial therapy be given? Potentially useful insights into these questions can be gained by examining experience with other spirochetal infections. Using this information, in conjunction with existing data from recent studies on Lyme borreliosis, tentative answers to these questions can be formulated. Based on this analysis, it would be anticipated that a short course of antibiotic therapy, perhaps even a single dose, will be effective in preventing Lyme disease after a tick bite. Beta-lactam antibiotics such as amoxicillin, and tetracycline preparations, such as doxycycline, are the mainstays of oral therapy for treatment of active infection. Macrolides are less effective, but their utility is likely to be improved if they are given in maximal dosage. There is no convincing evidence for extending treatment of early Lyme disease beyond 14 days. There is also no evidence that longer therapy is more efficacious for other manifestations of Lyme disease, although this issue deserves further study.

    Abstract Subunit vaccines consisting of single recombinant outer surface proteins (Osp) of Borrelia burgdorferi have been highly successful in protecting mice against challenge by borrelial strains closely related to the strain from which the immunogen was derived. Humoral immunity is sufficient for protection. A dual mode of action for these vaccines has been suggested because serum factors ingested by the tick during the blood meal may begin to reduce the spirochete inoculum prior to transmission to the host. At present two different recombinant OspA vaccine preparations (monovalent) are being evaluated in humans in large-scale phase III efficacy trials in the United States. Local discomfort at the intramuscular injection site has been the principal adverse effect seen to date with these vaccines, but further data on safety are being collected. The greater heterogeneity of OspA among Lyme Borrelia in Europe implies that a vaccine preparation containing multiple antigens (multivalent) may be necessary there, although this is also a concern in the United States.
