Researchers continue to try to unravel Borrelia burgdorferi's mysteries

Researchers continue to try to unravel Borrelia burgdorferi's mysteries: "La7, an immunogenic outer membrane lipoprotein of Borrelia burgdorferi, produced during infection, has been shown to play a redundant role in mammalian infectivity...Further characterization of vector-induced membrane antigens like La7 and its interacting partners will likely aid in our understanding of the molecular details of B. burgdorferi persistence and transmission through a complex enzootic cycle."
