LaboratoryBorrelia miyamotoi glpQ gene [Presence] in Blood by NAA with non-probe detection
Definition
The DNA amplification target is a gene encoding glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase (GlpQ), which is specific to the Borrelia species in the relapsing fever group. This gene is not found in the Borrelia species that cause Lyme disease. Melting curve analysis is then used to identify the organism as B. miyamotoi. A positive result is consistent with active or recent infection.
