Variable Exposure And Immunological Response To Lyme Disease Borrelia Among North Atlantic Seabird Species
Jun 30th 2008Drug InformationBiology
Host diversity and host-associated selection driven by the immune system are fundamental to virtually all aspects of infectious disease dynamics. Here, we examine the potential role of avian immunity in the evolution and global epidemiology of Lyme disease bacteria in the marine transmission cycle. We show that the seroprevalence and the repertoire of anti-Borrelia antibodies in seabirds vary among locations and seabird species.
