Abstract: The Jupiter family comet Borrelly drew special attention to itself because of the images taken by the Deep Space 1 space probe. In spite of the strong and directed ejections of material, the identification of meteoroid swarms with it will be very difficult, since periodic, although not close, approaches with Jupiter strongly affect the orbital elements of meteoroids.

Keywords: meteoroid streams, comets, 19P, Borrelly, radiant, $D$-criterion, orbital evolution.
