Show abstract
We explore the role of Australian black flying foxes (Pteropus alecto) as reservoir hosts of potentially zoonotic Borrelia bacteria. Across six sites, 2% of 840 bats were infected with one of two novel Borrelia haplotypes. Phylogenetic reconstruction indicated these infections are distinct from Lyme or relapsing fever clades.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
