Linda’s comment….too bad that Medical University of Vienna, Wienna Austria can work with the US docs on this horrific disease….??
Excerpt:
Ten years after the
discovery of spirochaetes as agents of Lyme disease in 1982 in the USA,
three genomic species had diverged from the phenotypically heterogeneous
strains of Borrelia burgdorferi isolated in North America and Europe:
Borrelia afzelii, B. burgdorferi sensu stricto (further B. burgdorferi),
and Borrelia garinii.
