Wikipedia Abstract

Borrelia afzelii is a species of Borrelia that can infect various species of vertebrate and invertebrates. Among 30 Borrelia known species, it is one of four which are likely to infect humans causing a variant of Lyme disease. Coinfection by this Borrelia species with one or more pathogens can occur, carried by the vector, which appears to be in most cases the tick.
