Borrelia afzelii is a species of Borrelia endemic to parts of Eurasia where it is one of the causative agents of Lyme disease. It is transmitted by hard-bodied ticks of the Ixodes genus (Ixodes ricinus in Europe, and Ixodes persulcatus in temperate regions of Asia), infecting various wild mammals in nature.[1]
Among 30 Borrelia known species, it is one of four which are likely to infect humans.[citation needed] Dermatological manifestations are more common in Lyme disease caused by B. afzelii.[1]
It is named after Swedish dermatologist Arvid Afzelius.[citation needed]
