Why Test?

Why is it important to test for Borrelia Burgdorferi Infection?

Lyme Borreliosis is a common tick-borne infection which is caused by spiral bacteria of the genus Borrelia, which is spread mainly by ticks. The tick, whether it is infected on not with Borrelia, is heavily dependent on seasonal and geographical influences.

From 12 hours after the tick bite the Bb.s.l. subspecies (especially B. Burgdorferi sensu stricto, B. afzelii, B. garinii) are transmitted by the salivary gland into the stab wound. Peak levels of Borrelia excretion are reached approximately 72 hours after the tick bite.

Previously detection of Borrelia antigens in the tick could only be done by running a laborious, time consuming and expensive PCR in a specialised laboratory.

Early diagnostics of the sucking tick is important; now with FASTest BOR in Tick, it is possible to detect potential Borrelia antigens in ticks quickly, simply and reliably.

Symptoms

Clinical symptoms of this disease may not appear until a few weeks or months after the tick bite because of the long incubation time. Symptoms, however, can include

Dear Customer,Vetlabs Logo

we would like to provide an update regarding ongoing market cost trends and their impact on our pricing.

Global market conditions have continued to drive sustained increases in direct costs, significantly affecting the entire supply chain. As a lot of the products supplied by Vetlab Supplies Ltd are polymer-based plastics derived from oil, fluctuations in oil prices and associated raw material costs have had a direct and considerable impact on production costs.

We have continued to make every effort to absorb these increases and minimise their effect on our customers, however, due to the ongoing nature of these issues, we have no option other than to implement an adjustment to our pricing & discounts on affected products from immediate effect.

Please note this will not apply to existing stock & will only be applied to new stock received at the increased price.

We would also like to emphasise that we will continue to closely monitor raw material and market cost developments. Should conditions improve, we will review our pricing accordingly and consider potential adjustments, including reductions where possible.

Thank You for your understanding.
