Mielenkiintoinen havainto Bb:n selviytymisestä. Liskon veressä
näyttäisi olevan jokin tekijä joka kykenee tappamaan Bb:n.
Hiiren veressä Bb sen sijaan kykeni elämään:

Bacteriocidal activity of lizard and mouse serum for Borrelia
lonestari, putative agent of a Lyme-like illness (AKA STARI or
Masters disease) in Missouri.

OBJECTIVE: To determine responses of Borrelia lonestari and Borrelia
burgdorferi to Eastern Fence lizard (Sceloporus undulatus) and Swiss-
Webster mouse (Mus musculus) sera. RESULTS: Lizard sera lysed both
Borrelia lonestari and Borrelia burgdorferi. Mouse sera lysed only
Borrelia lonestari.

CONCLUSIONS: Borrelia lonestari and Borrelia
burgdorferi spirochetes did not survive exposure to lizard sera.
Mice are reservoirs for Borrelia burgdorferi but may not be a
Borrelia lonestari reservoir because spirochetes did not survive
exposure to mouse sera.
