Abstract
Subject headings
Close
- Tissue metal net cages were implanted subcutaneously in BALB/cJ and C3H/Tif mice as an experimental model of Borrelia burgdorferi infection. B. burgdorferi sensu stricto strain Sh2-82 could be isolated up to 14 weeks after the inoculation. However, a significant difference in infectivity between the two mice strains was observed. C3H/Tif mice were more susceptible to developing chronic B. burgdorferi s.s. infections than BALB/cJ mice. Although a B. burgdorferi infection was established, no rearrangements in the ospA and ospB genes were observed in any of the infected mice.
