DEVELOPMENT OF A SENSITIVE MOLECULAR DIAGNOSTIC ASSAY FOR DETECTING BORRELIA BURGDORFERI DNA FROM THE BLOOD OF LYME DISEASE PATIENTS BY DIGITAL PCR.

Development of a sensitive molecular diagnostic assay for detecting Borrelia burgdorferi DNA from the blood of Lyme disease patients by digital PCR.

Lyme disease patients would greatly benefit from a timely, sensitive, and specific molecular diagnostic test that can detect the causal agent Borrelia burgdorferi at the onset of symptoms.Currently available diagnostic methods recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for Lyme disease involve indirect serological tests that rely

Sustainable Management of Sugarcane Press Mud Waste as a Ternary Additive in Cement-Lime Stabilization of an Expansive Soil

Sugarcane Press Mud (SPM) is a waste generated from the sugar industry.India generates about 12 million tonnes of SPM annually and hence, needs effective management.The present study delves into the use of SPM as a ternary blend in cement-lime stabilization of an expansive soil.An expansive soil was stabilized using a combination of 4.5% lime (dete
