Overview
Borrelia afzelii is a species of Borrelia[1] that can infect various species of vertebrate and invertebrates. Among thirty Borrelia known species, it is one of 4 which is likely to infect humans causing a variant of Lyme disease. It seems fairly common that coinfection combine this Borrelia species to another one or to other pathogens carried by the vector, which appears to be in most cases the tick.
