DOI: 10.1007/978-1-4939-7383-5_3
Abstract: The transmission, survival, and virulence of Borrelia burgdorferi depend upon the spirochete's ability to modulate its transcriptome as it cycles between its arthropod vector and reservoir host. This complex adaptive process is collectively referred to… read more here.
