Lyme disease is a bacterial infection caused by the bite of an infected deer tick. It is one of the fastest-growing infectious diseases in the United States, affecting nearly 500,000 people annually across all 50 states. Untreated Lyme disease can produce a wide range of symptoms, depending on the stage of infection. These include fever, rash, facial paralysis, and arthritis.

The AcuDart Lyme Disease Test is the most comprehensive and accurate test available because it identifies antibodies to the following nine Borrelia species: B. burgdorferi B31, B. burgdorferi 297, B. californiensis, B. mayonii, B. afzelii, B. garinii, B. spielmanii, B. bissettii and B. valaisianaa. Most Lyme disease tests look for only one species, B. burgdorferi B31, and therefore miss many positive cases.

The AcuDart Lyme Disease test detects antibodies to more Lyme-causing species than any other test, resulting in a much lower cost per species tested.

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 nine species of Lyme 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 tests detect antibodies to multiple species of Lyme Borrelia.

B. burgdorferi B31

The B31 strain is the most well-known and extensively researched strain of B. burgdorferi.

B. afzelii

Borrelia afzelii is common in Europe. It is transmitted primarily by Ixodes ricinus ticks.

B. garinii

Borrelia garinii is common in Europe and Asia. Ixodes ricinus ticks are the primary vectors.

B. californiensis

Borrelia californiensis is a species of bacteria that was discovered in 2007.

B. spielmanii

Borrelia spielmanii was first isolated in 1993 in the Netherlands.

B. valaisiana

Borrelia valaisiana is common in Central Europe and can cause neuroborreliosis.

B. burgdorferi 297

Borrelia burgdorferi 297 is a human cerebrospinal fluid isolate and is a commonly used strain for studying ospC expression.

B. mayonii

Borrelia mayonii was first identified in a Minnesota resident in 2013. It can cause nausea, vomiting, and large, widespread rashes.

B. bissettii

Borrelia bissettii has been reported in patients in Europe. It can also be found in woodrats that are infected with B. burgdorferi s.s.

Excellent Lyme test and experience

About a month ago I believe I was bit by a tick while camping. I had been doing a lot of research on Lyme disease and searching online for a good test. A couple of the at-home tests were limited in the number of Lyme species that they test for. AcuDart was more comprehensive. Through my own research, I’ve learned that many people infected with Lyme are positive for these other strains that many labs do not detect. The AcuDart experience was pretty easy as well. The blood collection and shipping were straightforward. But remember to activate the kit before sending it back, which is something I forgot to do, but the customer service helped me through that. Overall, this is an easy and economical way to check if you have Lyme disease.
