ABSTRACT BosR is a novel nucleic acid‐binding protein in the ferric uptake regulator (FUR) family that regulates gene expression in the Lyme disease spirochete Borrelia (Borreliella) burgdorferi. This issue of Molecular Microbiology contains a comprehensive transcriptomic study that keenly defines the regulatory swath of BosR in the vertebrate host of ...

Genomes, expression profiles, and diversity of mitochondria of the White-footed Deermouse Peromyscus leucopus, reservoir of Lyme disease and other zoonoses. [PDF]
The cricetine rodents Peromyscus leucopus and P. maniculatus are key reservoirs for several zoonotic diseases in North America. We determined the complete circular mitochondrial genome sequences of representatives of 3 different stock colonies of P ...
