A comparative analysis of molecular markers for the detection and identification of Borrelia spirochaetes in Ixodes ricinus
11 Dec 2009
Abstract excerpt
Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, carried by Ixodes ticks, is one of the most significant human pathogens, causing Lyme disease. As there is no standardized PCR method for detection and identification of spirochaete DNA, we carried out a comparative analysis using a set of complementary primers for three regions in the genomic DNA of these bacteria (genes fla and rrs and the non-coding rrs-rrlA region). DNA...
