Maternal antibodies provide strain-specific protection against infection with the Lyme disease pathogen in a wild rodent

2019-01-16

Abstract excerpt

The vertebrate immune system can produce antibodies that protect the host against pathogens. Females can transmit antibodies to their offspring, which provide short-term protection against infection. The tick-borne bacterium Borrelia afzelii causes Lyme disease in Europe and consists of multiple strains that cycle between the tick vector ( Ixodes ricinus ) and vertebrate hosts such as the bank vole ( Myodes gla...
