Borrelia burdorferi genotype in the northeastern United States is associated with Lyme borreliosis severity. Analysis of DNA sequences of the outer surface protein C gene and rrs-rrlA intergenic spacer from extracts of Ixodes spp. ticks in 3 US regions showed linkage disequilibrium between the 2 loci within a region but not consistently between regions.
美国东北部的伯氏疏螺旋体基因型与莱姆病的严重程度有关。对来自美国 3 个地区的硬蜱属 Ixodes spp. 提取物的外表面蛋白 C 基因和 rrs-rrlA 基因间隔区的 DNA 序列进行分析表明,在一个区域内,2 个基因座之间存在连锁不平衡,但在不同区域之间并不一致。
