Borrelia + ALSV (combination)

Analysing the tick for Borrelia and ASLV

The Borrelia and ASLV (Alongshan Virus) combined analysis includes three analyses – firstly the verification that the tick is really a tick (Ixodes ricinus) and secondly the analysis of whether there are Borrelia bacteria or ALSV viruses in the tick. All analyses are carried out at RNA and DNA level using the real-time PCR method.

The analysis takes a maximum of three working days after arrival of the tick
