Exploring Outer Surface Protein A from <em>Borrelia afzelii</em>: Cloning, Expression, and Characterization for Zoonotic Disease Research

2024-11-28

Abstract excerpt

Lyme disease (LD), caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, is transmitted through the bite of infected ticks. Outer surface protein A (OspA) is a major lipoprotein expressed by Borrelia species, playing a critical role in the colonization of the tick midgut. OspA is a key target in diagnostic and vaccine development due to its conserved nature across Borrelia species. This study focuses on the expression and ch...
