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.
