Genome Sequence of Borrelia parkeri, an Agent of Enzootic Relapsing Fever in Western North America

Borrelia parkeri is a relapsing fever agent that rarely causes human infection, unlike other North American species. B. parkeri strain HR1 was isolated from Ornithodoros parkeri ticks. The sequences of its linear chromosome and large plasmid were determined by next-generation sequencing. These confi...

description Borrelia parkeri is a relapsing fever agent that rarely causes human infection, unlike other North American species. B. parkeri strain HR1 was isolated from Ornithodoros parkeri ticks. The sequences of its linear chromosome and large plasmid were determined by next-generation sequencing. These confirmed its closer relatedness to Borrelia turicatae than to Borrelia hermsii.
