Detection of <i>Borrelia burgdorferi</i> DNA in Museum Specimens of <i>Ixodes dammini</i> Ticks

21 Sept 1990

Abstract excerpt

In order to investigate the potential for Borrelia burgdorferi infection before the recognition of Lyme disease as a clinical entity, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to examine museum specimens of Ixodes dammini (deer ticks) for the presence of spirochete-specific DNA sequences. One hundred and thirty-six archival tick specimens were obtained representing various continental U.S. locations; DNA...
