Tick Testing
We are pleased to offer PCR (polymerase chain reaction) tick testing for the following pathogens: Borrelia burgdorferi, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, and Babesia microti. The tests may be requested individually or as a 2-test panel or 3-test panel. All ticks submitted to CVMDL are identified morphologically by species, stage, and degree of engorgement prior to testing. Results are reported within 3-5 business days of receiving the sample.
Rabies Viral FA Testing
Rabies Viral FA testing is performed by the CVMDL only when there has been NO significant human exposure.
