Abstract:

Studies on the cells of strains SZ21, SZ22 isolated from Haemaphysalis longicornis Neumann in 1992, Beijing, with electronic microscope showed that ultrastructure of them was similar to, but not identical with both strains B31 and M7. The cells of strains SZ21 and SZ22 were more narrow and longer than those of B31 and M7. The SZ21 and SZ22 having six and eight flagella respectively attached at each end were different from B31 and M7.

Key words: ultrastructure, borrelia burgdorferi, lyme disease
