[Genetic variants of Borrelia garinii, a widely spread Eurasian pathogen of ixodic tick borreliosis].
As a result of PCR-RFLP analysis and the degree of similarity between the nucleotide sequences analysis of the rrfA-rrlB intergenic spacer DNA of 227 primary isolates of Borrelia garinii and 71 isolates/ amplicons from GenBank database in different regions of Eurasia revealed significant intraspecific heterogeneity among those of Borrelia. It was shown that genospecies B. garinii had within the two genetic subgroups (20047 and NT29) 16 genetic variants, whose geography was likely to be different.
