Abstract excerpt
Seven strains of Borrelia burgdorferi isolated from ticks and from human beings in Europe and U.S.A. were analyzed for DNA restriction patterns with several enzymes and for DNA homology in Southern blot hybridizations. The restriction patterns showed a moderately high variability. In Southern blo...
