Isolation and transmission of the Lyme disease spirochete from the southeastern United States.
TLDR
Transmission experiments indicate that the three Georgia isolates can infect experimentally inoculated hamsters and mice and Tick transmission of one of the isolates has been attempted so far; I. scapularis transmitted isolate SI-1 from hamsters to mice, but the lone-star tick, Amblyomma americanum, did not.

Susceptibility of Eumeces Species Skinks to a Southeastern Isolate of the Lyme Disease Spirochete ( Borrelia burgdorferi )
TLDR
The SI-4 strain of Borrelia burgdorferi obtained from field collected Ixodes scapularis on Sapelo Island, Georgia, was infective to seven of eight cotton mice (Peromyscus gossypinus) by needle inoculation, and attempts to determine presence of the spirochete in skinks using PGR assay of their organs were inconclusive.
