Phylogenetic Analysis of the SpirochetesBorrelia parkeriandBorrelia turicataeand the Potential for Tick-Borne Relapsing Fever in Florida
1 Aug 2005
Abstract excerpt
Isolates of Borrelia turicatae, Borrelia parkeri, and the Florida canine borrelia (FCB) were examined to further phylogenetically characterize the identities of these spirochetes in the United States. DNA sequences of four chromosomal loci (the 16S rRNA gene, flaB, gyrB, and glpQ) were determined for eight isolates of B. turicatae and six isolates of B. parkeri, which grouped the spirochetes into two distinct but...
