Whole Genome Sequence of an Unusual<i>Borrelia burgdorferi</i>Sensu Lato Isolate
8 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
Human Lyme disease is caused by a number of related Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato species. We report here the complete genome sequence of Borrelia sp. isolate SV1 from Finland. This isolate is to date the closest known relative of B. burgdorferi sensu stricto, but it is sufficiently genetically distinct from that species that it and its close relatives warrant its candidacy for new-species status. We suggest...
