Pan-Lyme Disease Strain Detection PaLDiSPOT Lyme disease referred to a disease caused by Borrelia, Babesia or Bartonella species, and affect different organs of human body (skin, heart, nervous system). B. burgdorderi sensu stricto, consist the strain with higher pathogenicity and transmitted by ticks, however Borrelia afzelii and Borrelia garinii also exhibit high pathogenicity. Apart from the previous genospecies, borreliosis caused also by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex (Borrelia lanei, Borrelia californiensis, Borrelia bissettiae etc). Early Lyme disease characterized by erythema migrans fever, malaise, fatigue, headache, myalgias, and arthralgias that appear within thirty days post tick bite, while other skin lesions have also been recorded (lymphocytoma). Delay in treatment of early borreliosis might affect other organs (musculoskeletal system, central nervous system, heart) while late borreliosis includes serious diseases such as arthritis and encephalitis. Diagnosis can be performed observing clinical manifestations of Lyme disease, as well as with serological testing. The identification of Borellia genospieces through Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is very sensitive and has the potential of detection at very low copies, even before activation of the immune system. PaLDiSPOT is used for detection and determination of different Borrelia, Babesia and Bartonella genospecies using sensitive molecular biology techniques. The use of positive and internal controls, as well as the unique design of the platform, ensures high sensitivity and specificity. PaLDiSPOT detects the presence of different species in blood or plasma, even at early stages of the disease. PaLDiSPOT enable detection of: Borrelia burgdorferi Borrelia spielmanii Borrelia afzelii Borrelia carolinensis Borrelia garinii Borrelia americana Borrelia mayonii Borrelia sinica Borrelia lusitaniae Borrelia yangtzensis Borrelia valaisiana Borrelia hermsii Borrelia kurtenbachii Bartonella henselae Borrelia lanei Bartonella bacciliformis Borrelia californiensis Bartonella vinsonii Borrelia bissettiae Babesia microti Borrelia bavariensis Babesia duncnani Borrelia turcica .
