Antigenic and genetic heterogeneity of Borrelia burgdorferi populations transmitted by ticks.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 16 Jan 2001

Ohnishi J, Piesman J, de Silva A M

Abstract excerpt

The genome of Borrelia burgdorferi encodes a large number of lipoproteins, many of which are expressed only at certain stages of the spirochete's life cycle. In the current study we describe the B. burgdorferi population structure with respect to the production of two lipoproteins [outer surface protein A (OspA) and outer surface protein C (OspC)] during transmission from the tick vector to the mammalian host....
