Abstract excerpt
As shown by sequencing the spacer rrf (5S)--rrl (23S) in 72 isolates of B. afzelii (one of the causative agents of Ixodes tick borne Borrelia infections) and the chromosomal gene coding protein P66 in 22 isolates, that in the natural focus located in the Middle Urals two different genetic subgroups (VS461 and NT28) of this genospecies simultaneously circulate. These subgroups are represented by 5 gene variants...
