Lyme disease has been studied by a group of scientists who have mapped out the genetic blueprints of 13 different strains of the bacteria causing it.
Lyme Disease - Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment, Prevention
Lyme disease is acquired through the bite of a tick that is infected with the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi.
Lyme disease is acquired through the bite of a tick that is infected with the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi.
The 13 newly sequenced strains include ones isolated from humans and ticks and represent a range of geographic origins.
Together, the genomes provide a more complete picture of scope of natural variations in the bacteria and the disease it causes.
