ADAPTATION FACTORS OF BORRELIA FOR HOST AND VECTOR

Abstract: The life transmission cycle of B. burgdorferi requires migration of spirochetes from tick’s gut to its salivary glands during vertebrate’s blood sucking, penetrating to the vertebrate’s tissues and their colonization. A special feature of these bacteria, despite
its relatively small genome, is the ability to adapt in different host environments. Continued
