The genetic diversity of Borrelia afzelii is not maintained by the diversity of the rodent hosts

BACKGROUND: Small mammals are essential in the enzootic cycle of many tick-borne pathogens (TBP). To understand their contribution to the genetic diversity of Borrelia afzelii, the most prevalent TBP in questing Ixodes ricinus, we compared the genetic variants of B. afzelii at three distinct genetic...
