The bacteria continuously cycle between vertebrate and invertebrate hosts, each inflicting substantially different selective pressures on the spirochete. Focusing solely on vertebrate infections, the spirochete can be found in numerous hosts in nature, including deermice, shrews, birds, and lizards. The immune pressures that the bacteria face in each of these hosts are variable and are thought to drive broad intraspecific variation across\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">B. burgdorferi<\/jats:italic>\n                      strains\u2014with different strains appearing to be avian adapted, mammalian adapted, or generalist.
