Borrelia afzelii is a species of Borrelia[1] that can infect various species of vertebrate and invertebrates.

Among 30 Borrelia known species, it is one of four which are likely to infect humans causing a variant of Lyme disease.

Coinfection by this Borrelia species with one or more pathogens can occur, carried by the vector, which appears to be in most cases the tick.
