9 Apr 2008
Abstract excerpt
Borrelia burgdorferi must adapt physiologically to two markedly different host milieus and efficiently transit between its mammalian host and arthropod vector during tick feeding. Differential production of lipoproteins is essential for spirochaetes to survive, multiply and migrate within both hosts.
