Single Core Genome Sequencing for Detection of both <i>Borrelia burgdorferi</i> Sensu Lato and Relapsing Fever Borrelia Species

Single Core Genome Sequencing for Detection of both <i>Borrelia burgdorferi</i> Sensu Lato and Relapsing Fever Borrelia Species

Lyme disease, initially described as Lyme arthritis, was reported before nucleic-acid based detection technologies were available. The most widely used diagnostic tests for Lyme disease are based on the serologic detection of antibodies produced against antigens derived from a single strain of <i...
