qPCR analyses of tissues from mice that were singly infected with either strain 297 or AH309. For each tissue, chromosomal loci of B. burgdorferi and mice (flaB and nidogen, respectively) were quantified, and data were plotted as numbers of B. burgdorferi genome equivalents per mouse genome equivalent. Differences in bacterial loads of heart tissues were equivocal (P = 0.049), while there were no significant differences in bacterial loads of ear tissues (P > 0.05).
