Population dynamics of a naturally occurring heterogeneous mixture of Borrelia burgdorferi clones.

Infection and immunity - 1 Nov 1999

Hofmeister E K, Glass G E, Childs J E, Persing D H

Abstract excerpt

Two unique isolates of Borrelia burgdorferi, differing in plasmid content and outer surface protein C expression, were cultured on sequential captures of a single free-living Peromyscus leucopus mouse and were examined for differences in transmissibility. Both isolates were transmissible from inoculated C.B-17 mice to larval Ixodes scapularis ticks and, subsequently, from infected nymphal ticks to C3H/HeJ mice....
