TABLE 3.
Contingency table for major ospC group data for lesions and ticks as published in GenBanka and the literature
| Isolate source (n) | No. of observations in isolates of major ospC groupb:
|
|||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | B | K | Combc | |
| Erythema migrans lesions (22) | 11 | 4 | 4 | 3 |
| Ixodes scapularis ticks (25) | 5 | 5 | 1 | 14 |
a
GenBank data include all ospC submissions made before February 1998.
b
The numbers of observations for lesions and for ticks were significantly different (χ2 = 11.1321 with 3 degrees of freedom; P < 0.025).
c
Combined major groups (Comb) are defined by individual frequencies of 0.025 or less and include groups D, E, F, I, J, L, M, O, Q, and R.
