Preparation of clonal populations of \kur{Borrelia} from North American isolates in purpose to detect the presence of \kur{Borrelia} species commonly distributed in Europe.
SMOLENOVÁ, Štěpánka
Up to now, 22 spirochete species from the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex have been described. Three of them are generally known to cause Lyme borreliosis disease in humans in Europe: B. garinii, B. afzelii and B. burgdorferi sensu stricto. In the USA, only B. burgdorferi sensu stricto has been officially recognized as the LB agent. B. garinii and B. afzelii are currently regarded as species occurring exclusively in Europe. The newly tested method of Borrelia cultivation on hard soil and its separation into individual clones may lead to isolation of spirochete clonal cultures and confirmation of the presence of the European Borrelia species on the territory of the USA, which would confirm the theory of spirochete transfer over the ocean with migrating birds.
