Cyst form of Borrelia
invades a nerve cell
in Alzheimer's Disease
Corkscrew shaped
spirochetes are only
one of the possible
forms that Borrelia may
assume: Namely
--Cystic forms
--Granular Forms (so
called "coccoid ")
--L forms
--"Bleb" forms  and
-- "Ring "forms
also are present in
tissues infected with
Borrelia
