The Population Structure of <i>Borrelia lusitaniae</i> Is Reflected by a Population Division of Its <i>Ixodes</i> Vector

Populations of vector-borne pathogens are shaped by the distribution and movement of vector and reservoir hosts. To study what impact host and vector association have on tick-borne pathogens, we investigated the population structure of <i>Borrelia lusitaniae</i> using multilocus sequence...
