我们通过分析易感性、内在潜伏期、感染程度和持续时间，比较了欧洲木鼠对莱姆病螺旋体的两个基因种的相对储藏能力。专门研究水库宿主的弗氏疏螺旋体比更具通用性的伯氏疏螺旋体更能适应这些宿主。
We compared the relative reservoir competence of European wood mice for two genospecies of Lyme disease spirochetes by analyzing susceptibility, intrinsic incubation period, and degree and duration of infectivity. Borrelia afzelii, specializing in particular reservoir hosts, is better adapted to those hosts than is the more generalist genospecies B. burgdorferi sensu stricto.
