Out of Asia? Expansion of Eurasian Lyme borreliosis causing genospecies display unique evolutionary trajectories
3 Dec 2022
Abstract excerpt
Vector-borne pathogens exist in obligate transmission cycles between vector and reservoir host species. Host and vector shifts can lead to geographic expansion of infectious agents and the emergence of new diseases in susceptible individuals. Three bacterial genospecies (Borrelia afzelii, Borrelia bavariensis, and Borrelia garinii) predominantly utilize two distinct tick species as vectors in Asia (Ixodes...
