Abstract
Molecular diagnosis of Lyme disease is hindered by genetic variability and, in genes that have a certain degree of stability, by the presence of identical regions in other genera in both related and unrelated species. There are therefore certain limitations in genetic diagnostic techniques and as yet no definitive laboratory diagnostic technique has been discovered.
