Fitness Variation of <i>Borrelia burgdorferi</i> Sensu Stricto Strains in Mice

3 Nov 2007

Abstract excerpt

Lyme borreliosis in North America is caused by the tick-borne spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi, a zoonotic bacterium that is able to persistently infect a wide range of vertebrate species. Given the pronounced strain structure of B. burgdorferi in the northeastern United States, we asked whether the fitness of the different genotypes varies among susceptible vertebrate hosts. The transmission dynamics of two...
