Title

It looks like Lyme, behaves like Lyme, but it’s not Lyme. What is it? Tick-borne Relapsing Fever (TBRF), a disease that presents very similarly to Lyme but is caused by a different set of species of Borrelia than those that cause Lyme disease. TBRF can be transmitted through the bite of infected soft and hard ticks.


The AcuDart At-Home Tick-Borne Relapsing Fever Test is the most comprehensive and accurate test available because it identifies antibodies to the following four Borrelia species: B. miyamotoi, B. hermsii, B. parkeri, and B. turicatae. Most TBRF tests look for only one species and therefore miss many positive cases.

Collecting Your Blood

All we need are a few drops.

That's right! A few drops of blood is all we need to test for four species of TBRF causing Borrelia. Our sample collection card is an alternative collection method, similar to an SST tube. Red blood cells are separated without a centrifuge, enabling the laboratory to perform tests on dry blood.

 

Is this methodology accurate? Yes! The test results have been cross-validated against standard finger prick and venous draws.

Collecting Your Blood

All we need are a few drops.

A few drops of blood is all we need to test for eight species of Lyme causing borrelia. Red blood cells are separated without a centrifuge, enabling the laboratory to perform tests on dry blood. The test results have been cross-validated against standard finger prick and venous draws.

AcuDart Detects Multiple TBRF Borrelia Species

B. hermsii

The most common cause of TBRF is B. hermsii. It is spread by the soft-bodied tick Ornithodoros hermsi.

B. miyamotoi

B. miyamotoi can infect humans through the bite of several species of hard-shell Ixodes ticks, the same kind of ticks that spread B. burgdorferi, the causative bacterium of Lyme disease.

B. parkeri

B. parkeri is a relapsing fever agent that causes human infection. B. parkeri strain HR1 was isolated from Ornithodoros parkeri ticks.

B. turicatae

B. turicatae is a spirochete that causes TBRF in the tropics and subtropics of the United States. It is the primary cause of TBRF in the southwestern United States and is transmitted by the vector, Ornithodoros turicata.
