Description
The number of human cases has been on the increase since the first recognition of its aetiological agent. Lyme disease is caused by spirochete bacteria belonging to the genus Borrelia, with B. burgdorferi sensu stricto (s.s.) found in the Americas, and B. afzelii and B. garinii, in addition to B. burgdorferi s.s., in Europe and Asia.. Clinical manifestations in humans include, in the early phases, erythema migrans, followed several weeks later by neuro-borreliosis (meningo-radiculitis, meningitis or meningo-encephalitis), Lyme arthritis and/or Borrelia lymphocytoma. In dogs, acute signs include fever, general malaise, lameness, lymph node enlargement and polyarthritis, as well as neuro-borreliosis in the chronic form.Diagnosis is mainly serological in both humans and animals, based on either a two-tier approach (an immunoenzymatic test followed by a Western blot confirmatory test) in humans or C(6) peptide, only in dogs. Using Lyme antigen rapid Test, potential Borrelia burgdorferi antigens in ticks can be detected in the field, quickly, easily and reliably.
How to use?
Check the product contents and make sure the test operation is under the room temperature (15–30℃) before testing.
Open the sample tube and place the tick in the sample tube. Use an extrusion rod to crush the tick. Then, place the sample tube in the workstation.
Unscrew the disposable diluent tube and squeeze all the diluent into the sample tube.Then, tightly close the cap of the sample tube and shake the sample well.
Take the test device out of the aluminum foil bag, and place it on a clean, flat table. Then, add three drops (about 90 μL) of buffer into the specimen well (S) of the test device.
INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS
Positive (+): The presence of both C line and T line, regardless of T line being strong or faint.
Negative (-): Only clear C line appears.
Invalid: No colored line appears in C region, regardless of T line’s appearance.
