Abstract
Valuable insights into the pathogenesis and immunoprophylaxis of Lyme disease are beginning to emerge from studies in animal models. This review highlights two animal models: the mouse, which has allowed us to investigate the role of both the immune response and spirochete phenotype in determining the outcome of the disease; and the Rhesus monkey, which manifests signs of nerve involvement, in addition to showing erythema migrans and arthritis.Entities:
