Genetic variation of Borreliella burgdorferi in Fairfax County, Virginia, targeting the OspC gene in white-footed mice
Outer surface protein C (OspC) is a commonly used marker in population studies of Borreliella to differentiate types and establish evolution over time. Investigating the ospC genetic types of Borreliella burgdorferi across multiple organ tissues of white-footed mice has the potential to contribute t...
