Detection of <i>Borrelia duttonii</i> , a Tick-Borne Relapsing Fever Agent in Central Tanzania, Within Ticks by Flagellin Gene-Based Nested Polymerase Chain Reaction
1 Dec 2001
Abstract excerpt
Argasid ticks collected in the site near Mvumi Hospital, Dodoma, Tanzania, were subjected to flagellin gene-based nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification for examination of borrelial infections. Eight of 13 ticks gave a strong 350-bp signal; three had a weak signal at the same size, and the rest were negative. Sequence determination of eight of the positive samples resulted in three types of...
