82780-8
LaboratoryBorrelia miyamotoi flaB gene [Presence] in Tick by NAA with probe detection
Definition
Detection of Borrelia miyamotoi DNA in black-legged ticks helps inform the potential risk for transmission of this organism to humans; human infection must be confirmed independently through patient testing. The target for the Borrelia miyamotoi PCR assay is the conserved region within the flagellin (flaB) gene.
