| blood donor borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato seroprevalence and history of tick bites at a northern limit of the vector distribution. | in order to study the antibody seroprevalence of the causal agent of lyme borreliosis, borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.), and the history of tick bites at a geographical distribution limit of ixodes ricinus, we compared healthy blood donors in geographically extreme regions: the borreliosis-endemic vestfold county (59°n) and the region of northern norway. blood samples were screened using igg/vlse elisa, and positive/borderline samples were confirmed using c6 elisa and immunoblot assays. al ... | 2017 | 28612350 |
