Genetic diversity of ospC in a local population of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto.

Genetics - 1 Jan 1999

Abstract excerpt

The outer surface protein, OspC, is highly variable in Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, the agent of Lyme disease. We have shown that even within a single population OspC is highly variable. The variation of ospA and ospC in the 40 infected deer ticks collected from a single site on Shelter Island, New York, was determined using PCR-SSCP. There is very strong apparent linkage disequilibrium between ospA and...
