Genome-wide screen identifies novel genes required for Borrelia burgdorferi survival in its Ixodes tick vector.
Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease in humans, is maintained in a complex biphasic life cycle, which alternates between tick and vertebrate hosts. To successfully survive and complete its enzootic cycle, B. burgdorferi adapts to diverse hosts by regulating genes required for su...
