SV1.

Excerpt:

Our results indicate that disseminated Borrelia infection in 
hares rarely occurs and, presumably, does not play a central role in the 
suspected population decline. The results also suggest that the mountain 
hare to some degree functions as a transmission host for B. burgdorferi 
s.s. and Borrelia sp. SV1.
