Abstract(s)

Borrelia burgdorferi sl.l. is a bacterial complex that includes pathognic and non-pathogenic genospecies to humans, with diferente reservoir host and vector species associations patterns. The study of the tropismo of B. Burgdorferi sl.l. in the hosts, how the infection is sequestered in diferente organs, and whether i tis maintained in circulation and/or in the host´s skin, is importante to understand pathogenicity and reservoir competency.
