Borrelia burgdorferi ELISA kits are assays designed to detect markers expressed by the spirochete bacterium, Borrelia burgdorferi. It is an obligate parasite that requires a vertebrate host for its life cycle. Microaerobic and motile due to several flagella, it is transmitted by ticks of the genus Ixodes. It undergoes multiple changes when infecting a host, such as changing its proteases and glycoproteins. B. burgdorferi is responsible for Lyme disease, which, in humans, can lead to conditions such as arthritis, nerve palsy, and cardiomyopathy.
