Author notes
Competing Interests: The authors have the following interests: Luciana Richer and Maria Gomes-Solecki are
employed by Immuno Technologies, Inc. MGS holds more than 5% financial interest in
Immuno Technologies, Inc. and in US Biologic, Inc. LR holds 5% financial interest
in Immuno Technologies, Inc. MGS advises US Biologic on development of reservoir targeted
vaccines for Lyme borreliosis. MGS holds several relevant patents (Recombinant constructs
of Borrelia burgdorferi, US 7,605,248; Groups of Borrelia burgdorferi and Borrelia
afzelii that cause Lyme Disease in humans, US 7,582,304; Oral vaccine for Borrelia,
US 2009/0297560 A1). This did not alter the authors' adherence to PLOS ONE policies
on sharing data and materials.
Conceived and designed the experiments: RM LR MGS. Performed the experiments: RM DLJ
LR. Analyzed the data: RM DLJ MGS. Wrote the paper: MGS.
