The NADAL® Borreliosis Ag Test is a membrane-based immunoassay for the rapid, direct detection of Borrelia antigens (B. garinii, B. afzelii and B. burgdorferi sensu strict) in ticks. The test is developed for the examination of the tick only. A positive result with this test indicates the presence of Borrelia in the tick.
Over 800 species of ticks are known worldwide, which can be divided into two main families: the hard ticks and soft ticks. Soft ticks are usually to be found in the tropics and subtropics. Hard ticks, however, including the castor bean tick, are spread around the world and are carriers of Lyme borreliosis disease and tick-borne encephalitis (TBE). While TBE viruses are in the salivary glands of ticks and can be transmitted directly to the the victim through the tick bite, Borrelia are initially located in the midgut of the tick. Borrelia reach the salivary glands while the tick is sucking blood and are transmitted to the victim only after a few hours. Thus, there is no great risk of a Borrelia infection within the first few hours after being bitten by the tick. The excretion of pathogens begins as early as two hours after being bitten by the tick and reaches its peak only after 72 hours.
