Phylogenetic Analysis of Borrelia Species Based on Flagellin Gene Sequences and Its Application for Molecular Typing of Lyme Disease Borreliae
1 Oct 1996
Abstract excerpt
We determined almost complete flagellin gene sequences of various Borrelia species and aligned them with previously published sequences. A neighbor-joining phylogenetic analysis showed that the genus Borrelia was divided into the following three major clusters: New World relapsing fever borreliae (Borrelia turicatae, Borrelia parkeri, and Borrelia hermsii), Old World relapsing fever borreliae (Borrelia...
