Borrelia hermsii acquisition order in superinfected ticks determines transmission efficiency.

Infection and immunity - 1 Aug 2013

Policastro Paul F, Raffel Sandra J, Schwan Tom G

Abstract excerpt

Multilocus sequence typing of Borrelia hermsii isolates reveals its divergence into two major genomic groups (GG), but no differences in transmission efficiency or host pathogenicity are associated with these genotypes. To compare GGI and GGII in the tick-host infection cycle, we first determined if spirochetes from the two groups could superinfect the tick vector Ornithodoros hermsi. We infected mice with...
