Delineation of a New Species of the Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Lato Complex, Borrelia americana sp. nov
Original language description
Analysis of Borrelia isolates collected from ticks, birds, and rodents from the southeastern United States revealed the presence of well-established populations of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, Borrelia bissettii, Borrelia carolinensis, and Borrelia sp. nov. Multilocus sequence analysis of 5 genomic loci from 7 samples from South Carolina representing Borrelia sp. nov. showed their close relatedness to California strains known as genomospecies 1 and separation from any other known species of the B. burgdorferi sl complex. The sequences of all analyzed isolates share the same RFLP patterns of the 5S-23S intergenic spacer region and contain unique signature nucleotides in the 16S rRNA gene. We propose that 7 Borrelia sp. nov. isolates from South Carolina and 2 California isolates designated as genomospecies 1 comprise a single species, which we name Borrelia americana sp. nov. All strains are associated with Ixodes pacificus or Ixodes minor and their rodent and bird hosts.
