Borrelia burgdorferi loses essential genetic elements and cell proliferative potential during stationary phase in culture but not in the tick vector.

Jessica Zhang, Constantin N. Takacs, Joshua W. McCausland…·Christine Jacobs

This paper shows that Borrelia burgdorferi loses genetic elements and proliferative ability in lab cultures during starvation but maintains these traits in tick vectors.
