Target Information
Borrelia is a genus of spiral-shaped, Gram-negative bacteria belonging to the family Spirochaetaceae. These bacteria are notable for their role as pathogens causing Lyme disease and other related illnesses, primarily transmitted through the bites of infected Ixodes ticks. The genus Borrelia includes various species and strains, such as Borrelia burgdorferi, Borrelia afzelii, and Borrelia garinii, each with distinct genetic and pathogenic characteristics. These spirochetes are adept at evading host immune responses, leading to a spectrum of clinical manifestations from skin rashes to severe neurological and joint disorders.
