DNA sequencing-based tests for Lyme disease and Lyme disease-like Borrelioses
DNA sequencing, namely the Sanger sequencing technology, is the commonly used “gold standard” for validation of the results of all other nucleic acid-based clinical tests. Ötzi the Iceman who died 5,300 years ago had Lyme disease which was diagnosed in 2012 by DNA sequencing of the genomic DNA remnants of Borrelia burgdorferi preserved in the cadaver. We are using the same approach to diagnose

‘Researchers at Columbia University are beginning a study of a new test for early Lyme disease.
The study is examining SpiroFind, a test developed in the Netherlands.’
“The nice thing about this test — if it works as we anticipate it will — is that you will be able to identify active infections in patients in early disease,” said Dr. Brian Fallon, director of the Lyme and Tick-Borne Diseases Research Center at Columbia University. “Right now, the tests are only 30-50 percent sensitive in early disease.”

Dr Brian Fallon Key note speaker at a Public Health England meeting in March 2015 said that these are exciting times, regarding research into Lyme Disease. He said that there were one or two promising tests being developed.
