Lyme borreliosis, a vector-borne disease caused by the Borrelia bacterium.
Lyme disease Borrelia live in reservoir hosts. It is transmitted throught tick.
Half a million people diagnosed annually. Most common: USA, Europe, Asia.
Species of Borrelia that cause Lyme disease are Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato.
This group contains at least 18 known species of Lyme-causing bacteria.
This broad classification includes: Borrelia garinii (Bg), Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto (Bb), Borrelia afzelii (Ba).
The most common diagnostic tests detect only one species, Bb.
These tests will miss infections caused by others.
At Rekom Biotech we have many recombinant antigens for Bb, Ba and Bg (ospC, flagellin B, VlsE).
