Abstract
- Research was conducted to examine the genetic diversity of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato found in southern Britain. The PCR method was used for a more accurate assessment of the diversity and distribution of borreliae in nature. Results suggest that B burgdorferi sensu lato can be maintained in nature through the use of distinct transmission cycles with the same vector tick species but having different vertebrate host species.
