人类莱姆病由许多相关的广义伯氏疏螺旋体物种引起。我们在这里报告的完整基因组序列的疏螺旋体属分离株SV1从芬兰。该分离株是迄今为止已知与B最近的亲缘菌株。严格意义上的burgdorferi，但它与该物种在遗传上有足够的区别，因此它及其近亲保证了新物种地位的候选资格。我们建议将该分离株命名为芬兰疏螺旋体。"
Human Lyme disease is caused by a number of related Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato species. We report here the complete genome sequence of Borrelia sp. isolate SV1 from Finland. This isolate is to date the closest known relative of B. burgdorferi sensu stricto, but it is sufficiently genetically distinct from that species that it and its close relatives warrant its candidacy for new-species status. We suggest that this isolate should be named "Borrelia finlandensis."
