A complete qPCR kit for the detection of Lyme disease
Lyme disease is a vector-borne illness transmitted through the bite of an infected tick. Common symptoms include fever, fatigue, and skin rash, with the causative agent being the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi. This disease affects both humans and animals, making early detection crucial to prevent long-term health complications.
YouSeq's qPCR kit to detect Lyme disease allows for highly sensitive and specific detection of Borrelia burgdorferi, enabling early diagnosis and treatment. Timely detection is essential in preventing the progression of the disease and reducing the risk of chronic symptoms, highlighting the importance of accurate and efficient testing methods.
