Fig. 4From: Shifts in Borrelia burgdorferi (s.l.) geno-species infections in Ixodes ricinus over a 10-year surveillance period in the city of Hanover (Germany) and Borrelia miyamotoi-specific Reverse Line Blot detectionExemplary Reverse Line Blot (RLB) image, showing the specific detection of amplified B. miyamotoi (miya) DNA by the newly designed probe MIYA. Additionally, detection of B. burgdorferi (s.l.) geno-species by different probes (SL, B. burgdorferi (s.l.); AFZ, B. afzelii; GAR/BAV, B. garinii/B. bavariensis; BIS, B. bissettiae; STR, B. burgdorferi (s.s.); LUS, B. lusitaniae; SPI, B. spielmanii; VAL, B. valaisiana) is shown. Controls were DNA amplification products of B. afzelii (afz), B. garinii (gar), B. bavariensis (bav), B. bissettiae (bis), B. burgdorferi (s.s.) (str), B. lusitaniae (lus), B. spielmanii (spi), B. valaisiana (val), B. carolinensis (car), B. kurtenbachii (kur), B. hermsii (her), B. recurrentis (rec) and B. duttonii (dut).
