Genetics of Borrelia burgdorferi.

Annual review of genetics - 1 Jan 2012

Brisson Dustin, Drecktrah Dan, Eggers Christian H, Samuels D Scott

Abstract excerpt

The spirochetes in the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato genospecies group cycle in nature between tick vectors and vertebrate hosts. The current assemblage of B. burgdorferi sensu lato, of which three species cause Lyme disease in humans, originated from a rapid species radiation that occurred near the origin of the clade. All of these species share a unique genome structure that is highly segmented and...
