The spirochetal bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, the etiologic agent of Lyme disease (LD), infects mammalian hosts via the bite of Ixodes spp. ticks. Unlike in North America, where the infection is caused only by B. burgdorferi sensu stricto, in Europe there are a number of B. burgdorferi genospecies that are associated with human LD. Different genospecies display different patterns of host specialization and tissue tropism and are associated with distinct spectra of clinical manifestations.
