PCR detection of pathogens directly from ticks

Detection of tick-borne diseases directly from ticks

Ticks can transfer a variety of pathogens. Most important are Borrelia. But other pathogens including Ehrlichia, Anaplasma and Babesia became more important for diagnostic, aetiopathology and subsequent therapy.

With the kit AID Tick-Screening laboratories get a reliable test for the rapid detection of the most important pathogens. The test is one part of the AID analytic program for tick borne diseases.
