A new DNA sequence test for Borrelia burgdorferi and Borrelia miyamotoi Infections
Borrelia miyamotoi (B. miyamotoi) had been described as another tick borne pathogen in the Southern New England US. Krause et al. reported that B. miyamotoi can cause illness and is treatable. Yet, Krause et al also reported that traditional tests for Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb) cannot be used to diagnose B. miyamotoi (B. Miyamotoi).
