NOTE. Boldface indicates that the allele carriage rate associated with RST2 infection was between that associated with RST1 infection and that associated with RST3 infection.

a

See [16] for definition.

b

χ2 test (1 df) for a difference in carriage rates among the ordinal Borrelia burgdorferi genotype categories.
